Friday Chat w/ Vlad

Hey, it’s Vlad. Greetings and salutations from sunny California…NOT. Have you guys heard about the weather out here?? It has been raining for what seems like weeks. As a matter of fact I recently sent a memo to management inquiring about the possible construction of an ark. When people out here talk about it they always end with “but we really needed the rain”. That is kind of like saying “but I really needed the root canal”. Sure, it may be helpful, but it is not something anyone really likes. Now I know what you are thinking….jeez Vlad, why are you out in the rain getting all wet when you have an absolutely delightful indoor habitat?? I will answer that by saying I am not going to let the rain spoil my day. After all without the rain there would be no rainbows 🌈. That does sound nauseatingly positive but the truth is there are always ways to keep oneself entertained even on days like these. For instance just a bit ago I told Yuri there was a bear claw pastry at the bottom of this big puddle and then watched in delight as he dove in face first only to reemerge with a mouth full of mud…good times.

Unfortunately the rain is delaying some of our important projects here. Both the healing path and the perimeter fence expansion are on hold until the weather clears. The healing path is the area dedicated to the most known and abundant canid, the domesticated dog. And of course the perimeter fence expansion will allow us to rescue more animals. Hopefully they both get back on track soon.

So until the sun comes back I will just be a soggy and slightly disgruntled fox. Luckily everyone here just loves the smell of wet fox in the morning. Truly something to put on your bucket list. I’ve just been told that Panda and Sergei are trying to get a game of water polo going in one of the larger puddles…l’m just not sure how they are going to get the horses in there, maybe we can use seahorses.

Vlad out.
