Cincy's Birthday at the zoo!

Yesterday was Cincy 3rd birthday, and she got an unusual oppertunity...to go to the zoo!! Our therapy dog group visits many of the Alzheimer's care centers here in Toledo, and for the 2nd year, we were invited to participate in the annual Memory walk to raise money for Alzheimer. It is held at the Toledo Zoo.

Unfortunatly, we never made it in to the main zoo. We decied to go see the Artic and Africa exhibts first, and by the time we were ready to go into the rest of the zoo, they asked the dogs not too. Last year there were no problems, but this year the Cheetahs were getting anxious and so they asked that the dogs stay in the entry plaza where there are no animals. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, or get too see as mant animals, but we were there to support the walkers as they entered the zoo, and that was really the main point of the trip. And the dogs were excited to get lots of loving from lots of people!

and now the pics...

There aren't too many more (maybe 12 or so), but they are here

What a great opportunity!!!!

Dunno if the zoos here would let us do that ....... but great pics!!! :D

Happy Birthday, Cincy!

The pictures are great! Too bad the dogs couldn't see more of the zoo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINCY!!!!

I sure hope you had a wonderful day at the Zoo!!

Well Cincy girl, it sounds to me like you had a pretty good birthday! I don't know too many dogs who get to go to the zoo:)

Those are wonderful pictures Amy, but I have to say I just love that mastiff, he's huge!

Aww, Cincy, Grandma missed your birthday. But what a lucky girl to get to go to the zoo. I'm sorry that you didn't get to go into the main part of the zoo. Tell mom and dad the next time not to drag their feet and maybe you will get to see some of the sites before someone does something stupid and gets you all chased out again!

Hope the rest of your birthday was a good one.

Happy Woof Woof Day,,,

Fantastic pics too!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINCY! :D

Happy Birthday Cincy girl! What a great Birthday you had, but that is too bad you were not allowed into the main part of the Zoo.

Great photos, i love the one of the wolf :eek: how beautiful. Thankyou for sharing the pics with us. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - belated -
sweet Cincy!
I hope your feeling better!
That is awesome you got to go to the zoo even for a little bit!!!

Glad Cincy had such a fun and exciting birthday!;)

I'm late, as usual, but I hope that Cincy had a wonderful birthday.
From the looks of these pictures, I would imagine she did!!!

What a neat opportunity for the dogs to go to the zoo--I'm sure mine would freak out!!!!!

Thanks for the beautiful pictures:)

Happy Birthday Cincy!!!:D:D:D Sorry we're late, sweetie. Wow, what a fun way to spend your birthday, at the zoo...even if you didn't get to go ALL the way in;) Lots of extra special hugs and kisses to you Cincy! We hope you're feeling lots better too!:) Love, Sandra, Cody and Star:)

WOW! What a fun Birthday outing Cincy! Your Mom made sure you had a fun and exciting day I see :) Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Happy Birthday Cincy - it looks like you had a great time. How cool to have a zoo that allows dogs (we don't even have an off-leash park).

Many, many more Happy Birthdays!!!

Happy Birthday Cincy! Looks like you had a fabulous time. Too bad you couldn't go everywhere in the zoo. Love that Mastiff! Would love to have one some day.

looks like you had a great time! Dogs aren't allowed at the Zoo here, you're so lucky to be able to take them to yours:D

Happy Birthday Cincy! Sorry I'm late. What a great opportunity to see some of the zoo. I'd be afraid to take my Sadie to the main part - if she wasn't afraid she would want to chase and I'd be stressed keeping an eye on her!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINCY!

I'm so sorry I'm late with my birthday wish for you. It sounds like you had a wonderful day. Wow, you got to go to the zoo. That is so cool!

Hugs and kisses for you, Cincy sweetie!

Robin :)
