We spent this morning at the City Zoo – and it was quite nice. There were some sad things, like small cement cages for the lions, a limping cougar, skinny tigers, and a wolf with a sore on his side but also some great habitats and 2 Brown Bears who took a swim. Oh, and 2 Panda Bears! Emerson had a great time. She rode in her carrier facing out for the first time and watched everything. We think it’s good that she liked the animals – hopefully that bodes well for Jimi and Murray (our big boys waiting at home).
At the Beijing Zoo they have a children's petting zoo within the main zoo and, for an extra fee, kids can pet dogs. All sorts of breeds. I don't think our son had ever been there before we took him, but he and the dogs at home (we have three) were fast friends within days of him coming home.
