Hope you enjoyed my pics! I snapped these today while I was feeding/watering/cleaning out some cages at my new job! There's a lot more, but this is just what I got to work with today.

Sweet! love the sugar glider. But my fav is the kitty. I love kittys. I wish I had 1 reason why I even remotely liked work.

So wicked! All those animals are so beautiful. Makes you tired of having to deal with boring people everyday.

Oh I know what you mean about working with people, trust me! I have a second job as a waitress, and then with the animal job, we do childrens birthday parties, coorporate, church, and educational events. We do not bring any of the tigers to those though.
P.S., there's two tigers in the pictures, Delilah is a full blooded Bengal, and Shamirah is a Bengal- Siberian Mix. Can you tell which is which? =D

Thank you very much! It's definitely my dream job!

[anendeloflorien]

Damn, I would love that job too! I actually enjoy the job I have but I would actually look forward to going in to work if I worked there! Actually I think they'd have to pay me to leave lol! Thanks so much for the pics and letting us see some of the awesome animals you work with!

That's pretty much why she has to pay me! lol. It takes me about 3 hours to feed/water/clean out the tasks that she gives me everyday, so I hurry and finish those so i can play with the Coati's and Fox's afterwards. One of her partners also has a 4 month old Lemur named princess, and when my boss has her over at her place Princess likes to ride on my shoulder and 'groom' me while I'm working. It's the cutest thing ever! If I could live there I totally would!

Thanks! I'll try to get a better pic of our croc up in a few days, the position he was in wasn't the safest for me to pull him out, even though he's only about a foot long, lol he's just a little guy! But Id still rather not be bitten
