    Catch a tiger by the tail..... *Picture*

    Or in this case.... a bottle!



    Isn't she adorable!? Her name is Tori and she's a 21 week old Siberian Tiger cub, weighing in at 40 lbs.


    Andy and I had gone to Gibralter Trade Center (a flea market of sorts) and Premier Animal Attractions were there. They are a private zoo/rescue. They do events, faires, educational programs, commercials, ect.

    They had many of their animals on display, but you could have your picture taken with the tiger cubs. They were so freakin' cute! And it was equally cute to see this huge burly man speak so lovingly of the cub he sat in our laps. He told us all about her and she just happily sucked on the bottle.

    OK....I'm jealous. When my husband and I went to Vegas 3 years ago, the MGM had Tigers there but no babies to have our photos taken with.

    Actually, the picture is wonderful. I look forward to my next trip out to Vegas so I too can have a picture like that.

    Consider adopting a special needs pet, they deserve a chance too!

    I have never been so jealous of two people in my life as I am with you guys right now. I just LOVE tigers and that is my all time dream, holding one of those little beauties and bottle feeding it.
    What a gorgeous picture.

    OMG!!!!! I want to hold a baby tiger! You're SO lucky!!!

    **jealous**

    That cub is SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! I remember petting a lion once at some wild animal safari type of place (can't remember where) when I was about 6 or 7 years old. It was such a great experience, but it has been so long, and seeing your picture is making me so jealous! I WANT THAT TIGER!

    Tori's fur was soft but coarse... kinda hard to describe.


    It was Mt. Clemens, Donna. You're gonna kill me, but I tried calling you before we left for Gibraltar to see if you'd like to meet us there. But your home line rang busy and your cell phone was off.

    BUT... they are going to be back and at the Trade Center in Taylor this upcoming weekend. That one is closer to you than Mt. Clemens I think.

    Here's the schedule.

    How cute! I got to hold a tiger cub once when I was doing a 4-H livestock show. But the picture is in Texas at my parents house.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
