It is a special profession with tremendous responsibility and rewards. You make it all seem so effortless, but that is obviously not the case. Your dedication to your profession and especially to the well-being of the animals in your care is first class, second to none. If humans had such exemplary care from those in a position to provide it, we would live in a much safer, healthier, and friendlier world. These animals are truely blessed to have such wonderful nutrition, enrichment, living quarters, and medical attention. To think what would have happened to some of them in the wild, such as little Kinah the swamp monkey is thoughts I don't like to have. I agree with Angie #1 that you are also incredible journalists. It is seldom that you find such a great combination of scientific knowledge, great interpersonal skills, animal instincts and communication skills, and writing skill on top of it all. You write so well, that it makes me feel like I am right there with you and the animals going through these life experiences together. Words can not express the gratitude of the zoo-visiting public both in person and on-line for all that you do for the animals and for us. GOD Bless each and every one of you.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our animals healthy and enriched. It's wonderful that the job has evolved so much, yet I realize that it keeps all of you on your toes every second. It takes a special person to handle such diverse tasks, including the handling of all us wannabe zoo keepers!! I certainly appreciate the incredible (ongoing) education and training required for being a zoo keeper. You make it look easy, which definitely means that the animals you care for are in the best of hands. Happy National Zoo Keepers Week!
