My Special Birthday Gift

My birthday was on Sept. 30 and I had a great day! I was extremely spoiled by my husband and parents. They just love me too much! Since my birthday was on Tuesday Mark and I decided we would go out on Saturday. There is a drive through zoo in Gentry, AR that I really wanted to go to because I heard that you could hold a baby tiger! Mark took me and it was pretty much the most awesomest birthday gift ever! If you do not know (which I if you know me I would not understand why you wouldn't know) I absolutely love cats of all shapes and sizes. It has been my dream to touch and play with a wild cat. Tigers happen to be my absolutely favorite with lions coming in at a close second. There was this adorable tiger cub in a cage that was just as nice and cute as can be. On of the workers at the zoo explained to me the owner of the cat would be picking the cat up and usually lets people play with it out of the cage. Oh how I was thrilled at the idea. So Mark and I waited around and after an hour the owner showed up and let me play with the tiger!! I was seriously in heaven! She was so fun and acted like a normal house cat. She was biting my hand...playfully of course. It was just plain awesome; I will not forget this experience. I will be going back soon, of course!
