Animal Magnetism

Last Wednesday I was almost certain I had found my true love, again. While I have always known Sean is my true love, I had doubts for the first time. He was tall, with big dark eyes and a gentle demeanor. He was social and good with the girls. Luckily for Sean, this lanky beauty is a giraffe. His name is Kiva. I met him when we were lucky enough to have a private feeding at the Houston Zoo. We spent 30 minutes with him and a young male named Miles. Miles was adorable. He let the girls get close, until they moved quickly. Then he would just walk away. Giraffes are fun to feed because there is no fear of being bitten. Giraffes don't have top teeth. Their tongue is 18 inches long and is as nimble as a finger. They weren't too slimy either. Kiva would come down and nuzzle you with his face. Apparently he loves women and would do this on command. I loved it. It was so sweet and fun. Hopefully we will be able to do this again someday. It was a real joy.
