I am not a sports fan. I still mourn the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn. But since everyone is talking about brackets and basketball I thought I would share the type of ball playing that I like to watch. It was great fun searching my photo archives looking for balls as enrichment. Score!

Tomorrow, March 20, we celebrate World Frog Day as we join in the worldwide tribute to these amazing amphibians. World Frog Day was first established in 1995 as a way to raise awareness about frogs and other amphibians. Not only are frogs fascinating creatures, but they also play an important role in our environment. Five fun facts about frogs 1. A group of frogs is called an army. 2. Frogs drink water through their skin. 3. Frogs are found all over the world. 4..The world’s largest frog species is known as the ‘Goliath Frog.’ 5. A frog’s eyes and nose are on the very top of their heads.

This winter has thus far been a bust in NYC. I know it has been hard in other places that normally do not get snow but for us…meh. I do not drive and do not have to shovel, so for me, the snow is an opportunity to simply admire nature and take lots of photos of beautiful animals at the Central Park Zoo. I searched my photo archives for some of my favorite snow photos. I enjoyed my trip down memory lane and hope you do too.

Valentine’s Day is my second favorite enrichment time for our Central Park Zoo animals (pumpkins are first). The keeper staff has fun creating new items for enrichment and our collection animals (and I) enjoy it very much. Hope you get a few smiles from these photos too.

Happy Valentine’s Day (two days early). Lots of snuggling, kanoodling, breeding and nesting going on all over the animal world. Smooches to you all!

Nothing but fun and smiles at yesterday’s AKC Meet the Breeds at the Javitts Center. I have not been to a dog show in many moons and forgot how much fun they are. Not only are the dogs terrific but the handlers are quirky and delightful to chat with about each and every doggie. I have included just some of the many breeds in today’s montage and of course have included my little bundle of fun, Mr Pepe, at the end of this photo montage. Woof!

I took a short, delightful trip to DC over the holidays to visit friends. Even though there are so many wonderful cultural places to visit in that city (and we did) we always find time to go to the National Zoo even for just a few hours. Enjoy!

Today’s montage completes 19 years of my sending out these Sunday photos. By my calculations that’s over 960 Sunday photo montages. Oh my! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Some of you have been with me for the entire 19 years. I am very thankful for that. Hoping to do my best to keep posting on Sundays. I leave you as always with no ‘ifs, just ends, butts and tushes.’ Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year.
