I dropped my fucking name tag into an exhibit. It feel off my fleece and into the water. In front of guests. It landed on a shark. They need to wait for a diver to get it.
–Never trust wildlife. The second you trust that they will do something or stay somewhere is the second they fly off the table and give you a heart attack.
–I have no maternal instinct for human babies, but every time I hold a baby squirrel or bunny in my hands I’m ready to kill for them.
–Baby mink and baby weasels are the cutest things in the world.
–Trying to grab a squirrel is like trying to grab water.
–Adult squirrels are the devil. They WILL bite you and it WILL hurt. Even if they’re half dead, never assume they can’t bite you.
–If you are bit by any kind of wild animal, even if it barely breaks the skin, wash your hands immediately and bandage it. There are a lot of nasty diseases/infections we can get from these animals. Especially rodents; their bites are nasty.
–An angry bat is one of the most distinctive sounds in the world.
–Goose bites hurt less than you’d expect but crow bites hurt more than you’d expect.
–Just because an animal isn’t a rabies vector in your area doesn’t mean it’s no big deal if they bite you. There are plenty of other diseases we can get from wild animal bites.
–People will try and take care of wildlife and they will do a terrible job and feed them garbage.
–Don’t mess with snapping turtles. Just don’t.
–A lot of the orphan babies brought in are totally healthy and not really orphaned at all. People just assume that an animal is orphaned if they can’t see the parents at all times.
–People don’t always understand why we have to euthanize animals and they will get very mad about it.
–Turtles are very resilient and can survive devastating injuries. Also never assume a snapper won’t bite just because it’s injured. I had a snapper with part of her face missing try to take my finger off.
–Wear gloves. You never know what an animal has.
–All baby birds look at least a little bit like Bernie Sanders.

Today at therapy was really hard. I was sitting here crying, and generally being miserable, when I felt a nudge at my knee. I looked down to see that Zeus, my service dog, was doing his job… and brought me a potato.
it is very hard to cry with a gift of potato.
Remember this? I’m having a rough time right now. Zeus has a solution.
That would be an empty pill bottle, the *correct* pill bottle, a bottle of embossing powder, and two, TWO potatoes.
You’re worth at least 2 potato to him and that’s pretty special imo.
I would just like to remind you all that *I don’t own any potatoes* and I have no clue where he’s getting them from.
