Here is my wonderful Penguin from the Baltimore Zoo. I just got him today and the letter says that my name will be on the adopter's display board at the Zoo plus also on their website. I will also get special invitations to come and visit my little guy. I think that it's really cool. They sent a whole page about Fun Facts on the African Penguin, the Habitat, Diet, Adaptations and Conservation. Even some fun facts about them.

I enjoy the stuffed little guy that was sent along with the adoption certificate. My penguin's name is Jake.

These guy are going through roll call - Herbie, Max, Sylvia, you here. Oh Sylvia - she must be making out with Jake .Penguin Pictures!

He's a good looking little fella. The name suits him.

Thanks. I think so, too.

YAY,

Jake is a handsome little guy.

By Dacotah, # 6. July 2007, 21:42:34

So is Tux - I am holding my stuffed little guy right now. He doesn't quite waddle like your's does - but he is cute.

By greathoneybear, # 6. July 2007, 21:44:59

Thanks.

By Dacotah, # 6. July 2007, 21:47:16

You're welcome. Maybe I can teach mine to dance.

he is a cute little thing....and so is his buddy the stuffed one...maybe one day u can show JAKE his little stuffed buddy as well.

By SqueakeyCat, # 7. July 2007, 02:51:44

Sounds like a perfect plan. The stuffed penguin is soooo soft - you just want to hug him. He feels like one of those beanie babies - but bigger. Very soft and furry.

P.S. I like your name - squeakyCat

Christy

By greathoneybear, # 7. July 2007, 02:55:18

my name SqueakeyCat is after a kitten that i owned. she died at just 6 months old. i called her SqueakeyCat cuz when she meowed, instead of sounding like a cat, she sounded like a mouse. everyone loved her.

By SqueakeyCat, # 7. July 2007, 02:59:13

I am so sorry about that. I rescued a dog - actually called him Jake after my son and he died shortly thereafter from cancer that had spread all the way through his body. The doctors couldn't do a thing to help him. I just had to be with him. I had him for about the same amount of time. Unfortunately, he had been in the shelter for 9 months and then I rescued him and he died 6 months later.

So again, I'm sorry for your cat.

sry bout ur puppy too, but, i just feel that it was for the best. i guess someone else needed her much more than me.

By SqueakeyCat, # 7. July 2007, 03:05:09

That is the way I feel about my son Jason too. He was meant to be somewhere else. Not here. One day, we will reunite.

By greathoneybear, # 7. July 2007, 03:08:48

Good.

That's awesome!

By Ace Jon, # 7. July 2007, 09:40:48

Thanks. I hope to put a picture of Jason on this blog as well.

By barefoot_muse, # 9. July 2007, 19:55:50

Thanks, he's so cute. I can't wait to actually see him at the zoo.

Christy

By greathoneybear, # 9. July 2007, 20:41:19

Great and nice idea Christy:up:

By zetorres, # 11. July 2007, 15:32:19

Thanks - the actual picture and adoption papers are so cute - so is the stuffed little guy they sent along. It was a good idea to do this because Jason loved Penguins. Last year I gave money to Hurricane Katrina in his name and also to the African Relief Fund. This year I adopted a Penguin. Next year, who knows.....

By greathoneybear, # 11. July 2007, 15:36:53

You are really amazing my new friend from America

for you I have

By zetorres, # 11. July 2007, 15:44:30

Why thank you, my friend. I never want Jason's name forgotten. So every year, I do something in his name - one year I bought four bricks at the zoo - just something that honors his life - and throughout the year when people ask for money for whatever - breast cancer or something like that I give what I can in his memory. It might not be much - but I still give to honor him.

By greathoneybear, # 11. July 2007, 15:52:55

Very nice

And it's great because you like help the others:)

By zetorres, # 11. July 2007, 16:01:19

Yes, I do. It's in my nature to help others.

By greathoneybear, # 11. July 2007, 16:02:59

Christy, delete your extra three comments.

By Dacotah, # 11. July 2007, 16:04:16

Thanks Dacotah, I don't know why things post two or three times. I wish someone could explain that to me.

By greathoneybear, # 11. July 2007, 16:36:05

It's a bug they have.

By Dacotah, # 11. July 2007, 16:36:56

Got ya. Thanks for looking out for me!

By greathoneybear, # 11. July 2007, 16:37:44

You are welcome.

By Dacotah, # 11. July 2007, 16:41:36

All you have to do is go on your zoo website and check out the animals for adoption - they usually have penguins - and go from there - it is pretty easy. At least it was for me. I did everything online and it only took about a week for the adoption papers and stuffed cutie to show up.

Thanks

By greathoneybear, # 15. July 2007, 00:00:34

Ya christy..... nice! Adoption is really nice.....and it make me feel proud to have a friend like u who's thinking is so touching and wise,who's so caring and dedicated....its really good to hear u do something in JASON's memory,every year....really appriceable mother!!

By khushi1811, # 30. July 2007, 00:46:21

Thanks,

The cute little stuffed penguin they sent along I keep in a box or I would hug him all night long. I am looking forward to the first adopters' meeting that they hold at the zoo so I can see my little guy. I am also going to take my two children to see the penguins. I just found a picture of Jason that I am going to upload to this site so everyone can see the real Jake.

Thanks again for the wonderful compliment.
