Newest Animal Family Additions - Part 101

Introducing.....

GIGANTOR!!!!!

He is 75lbs and puts my Momma Shelly, who is 60lbs and SUPER impressive, to shame!She looks so little next to him!


He is available for rides if anyone wants to come over! ;)Now we just have to figure out a way for me to travel him on an occasional basis for big events and at special request!


ALSO INTRODUCING.....

Mr. Lincoln!

He is a baby Copper Turkey, only a few weeks old.


And Lester's new favorite animal!
He loves holding him and having him fall asleep in his lap. He is soooooo gentle and loving, it melts my heart! The first night we had set up a cage in the kitchen with a heat lamp and Mr. Lincoln peep peeped his little heart out when he couldn't see us anymore. Lester was sooooo sad that Mr. Lincoln was lonely and was going to have to sleep by himself. So after giving Mr. Lincoln a stuffed animal and convincing Lester that Mr. Lincoln is a bird and CAN NOT sleep in the bed with him, he sadly gave in and got ready for bed. By the time Lester was ready and in bed, Mr. Lincoln had stopped peep peeping and fallen asleep. Lester (and me too) breathed a sigh of relief and went to bed happily. He surprisingly enough, has also helped me clean his cage and water and feed him everyday....so far.
Hopefully this new found friendship will continue for along time to come....if Crash doesn't get too jealous! We are hoping Mr. Lincoln will be as cool as Lurkey, my show Turkey, and be able to replace him when he is no longer show worthy.
