:><: :><: :><: Carole. <3 Maya <3 is so adorable. I don't envy you the training part, but once she is house broken that will be the major hurdle over with :D

Posted ImageWelcome Maya

Are you going to train her to use a litter box? I tried to reverse train Siobhan so she would use one in the winter...No Dice...we have to 'go' outside all winter long :o
Of course you don't really need to worry about that since you are in Florida for the winter anyway :P

Maya sends you all kisses and licks. I told her she is now a Cruzer, she just looked at me with that adorable face and kissed me. :wub: Thank you everyone for welcoming her to Eagleland with all my special friends. :Hugs:

Penny - She was piddle pad trained when I got her but she just did a peepee on the grass so that's a start. She's quite tired, she had her second vaccination this morning which tires them out and all the changes to a new home but seems to be adjusting well so far. Hope she sleeps tonight as I am exhaused, was up at 4:30 a.m. because I was too excited to sleep.

I don't think we will be going to Florida this year, no dogs allowed where we stay as renters, only owners can have dogs. I don't mind not going this year as Alan still has issues with his eyes and me with my ears, I feel more secure at home until everything is settled.

We've got a mess in the house right now! Taking out the old desk & putting in the rolltop we got at the Thrift store for $8.97! Not put together right yet, but here it is outside before we put it in it's place & correctly on top of the bottom pieces-

As I'm moving the mess I decided to measure the 4 panels of lined curtains I had made in Nairobi & get them on Craig's list.

Hi! KAth/Ozzie, Nice to meet you and everyone with our wonderful eagles.! :}^
I have watched the 2 pairs of eagles near me for the past 7 years, (one pair at
Merrill Creek Reservoir on Scotts Mountain, near Phillipsburg, NJ and one pair in
Portland, Pa.) and I was overjoyed to find the eagle cams this season. And that
Dr. Sharpe let me join. I am in Belvidere, NJ
Wow you're eagle watching all the way in Australia. That's neat!
I hope you get this as I know I'm on so late this evening.

Deb hope your BBQ went well this evening

Carole Hope Maya will be great company for you and your family and that your ear
problem will be resolved.

Topa The sepia photos are lovely!

Lily the Black Bear - Update August 28, 2010 - 9:07 PM CDT

The Power of Lily's Fans

Lily nursing Hope - August 27, 2010

Yesterday, a BBC photographer watched a relaxed, perhaps blissful, Lily letting Hope nurse - and took this picture. This morning Lily's heart rate was 80, which doesn't seem low enough to indicate she's slowing down yet. We are anxious to learn how the timing of Lily's denning relates to other mothers with cubs and to other pregnant females.

We spent most of today in the office downloading more GPS data and entering a backlog of bear weights before hunting season takes over our lives in just a few days.

Meanwhile, Lily's fans were busy working on the Education Outreach project…and busy voting.

As June returned to Bear Head Lake State Park after spending the night in the hinterlands, Lily's fans managed to put the park further into the lead in the Coca-Cola Favorite Park contest. Fans passed the 1.5 million vote mark to create a lead of over 610,000 votes. The prize of $100,000 seems assured. Voting ends August 31.

This demonstration of voting power to benefit the area where the radio-collared bears live may help protect them. Anyone who reads the newspapers should recognize the many values the radio-collared bears - and the fans they have brought together - are bringing to this area. People we've talked with are adamant about protecting the radio-collared bears that bring so much good to science, education, and the area. Check this news blurb about what Lily's fans have accomplished http://www.fox21online.com/news/lily-fans-push-minnesota-state-park-first-place-100000. We were glad to see Lily's fans recognized immediately in the title.

The cliffhanger now is the drive to put Ely's two schools in the top 20 vote-getters to win a million dollars between them in the Kohl's Cares School contest. I don't know if we can move from 58th and 60th place to the top 20 in the 7 days we have left. Among other things, a win would likely provide money for outdoor learning and the testing our Education Outreach materials in Ely school classrooms. It would also help people realize the value of the radio-collared bears to the region. A win would help protect these important bears.

To vote for the schools, go to each of the two links below and vote 5 times in a row for each of the two schools. If you voted once yesterday, please go back and vote another four times. When you have reached the 5-vote limit for each school, a message comes up saying that. Then there is nothing else you can do except to get everyone one in your network to vote, too. While winning this one seems nearly impossible, the Duluth News Tribune is describing Lily's "army" in near legendary terms. We heard the article should appear tomorrow, Sunday. Closing the gap will be difficult with voting ending September 4. However, if any group could pull this off it would be Lily's fans!

The links to vote for the schools are:

Washington Elementary

http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/school/503391/washington-elementary

Memorial Secondary

http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/school/503401/memorial-secondary

Thank you for all you do.

That is an awesome desk for a paltry sum Jill. What a bargain :><: :><: :><:

The African fabric is certainly eye catching too :D I have never used Craig's list for anything, but have heard some 'horror' stories so be careful :ok:
