Meerkats, I LOVE Em

Saw the new Meerkat Manner Series last night. Even though I miss little shakespear, I just love Flower, and the whiskers clan. There are two new groups on the scene now, the Lazeli and the Commandos. It's a fight for survival, but those little guys know how to move like an army. They're cheeky little guys, but cute as can be. If you are an animal lover like me, then you can appreciate where I'm coming from. Found out that there is a Meerkat habitat up in the Morongo Valley, public are allowed to go visit and see them and if we adopt one (contribution), we are allowed to actually hold them let them untie our shoe laces, and look in our pockets, and in general just enjoy them. So, now I am working on Tony to take a trip to see them. I think he will 'cause he really likes them too. They are small, an adult is 12 inches high, the babies are only two inches long when they are allowed to come out of the burrow to learn how to forage and hunt for food. but they are brave litte guys and will fight to the death to protect the clan. I just love them. Got a case of Meerkat Fever.

WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT SHAKESPEAR???

As most of my online buddies and regular friends know, I am a devoted fan of The Meercat Family, shown on animal planet every Friday night. It's almost like watching a soap opera, seriously, I am so into those little guys, I know their names, and their story. My favorite is little Shakespear. He's brave, and kind and intelligent. When they went off for the summer, Shakespear was missing because he had been protecting the Meercat babies, Flower's brood. They had been attacked by the Langeli clan (another group of Meerkats). When Flower and the others returned from feeding, the babies were there but Shakespear was missing. The announcer said be sure to tune in again on 9/29 and find out Shakespear's fate. Now we are being told that because this is shot in the wild, there is no interfering by mankind. So if Shakespear is missing, then why tell us to be sure we see what his fate was. The producers of the show say they don't know the answer. Well !!! That sure was a rude awakening. I am so bummed because obviously Shakspear won't be back this season. Boooo Hissss
