January 31st, 2006 - Lottie and Minnie have come home!

Lottie and Minnie, the first two of 8 elephants coming in the next week to The Elephant Sanctuary, have made it home! I got to watch it on streaming video and it made me so joyful!

The rest of them will be coming two by two over the next week. More info and their schedule is available. Watch the ele-cam.

For those who haven’t been reading for the past year, The Elephant Sanctuary is my favorite charity. The have spent the last few years struggling to bring 12 elephants home to Tennesee from a company that got in trouble with the USDA for their treatment of the herd. Two elephants came a year ago; one died this fall. Another one died just before New Year’s. The rest are coming home! TES is a true sanctuary. It accepts only female elephants. No breeding is done. The elephants are not viewable by the public (except via the webcams).
