Our two African porcupines Bubbles and Bilbo finally met

We finally got around to take some good shots of Betsy and her daughter Manilla. I will post some more pictures of the old lady working with kids later. But for now here are a few head shots. Betsy is turning 29 this year!

I think I should probably start by introducing myself. My name is Miss Trinket. Don't forget the Miss. In case you want to know what I look like here is a photo of me. And yes I am pretty small but believe me what I lack in size I make up for in charm and ingenuity.

Today was 'my' boy Bu's big day! Back-Riding for the first time. Lance was excited to finally be allowed to ride 'the silver horse'. Bu was such a star! I could feel that he was not sure about the oddly added weight. He was hesitant to canter at first wanting to make sure he would not displace anything.
