As the fruit of my loins has not seen fit to send me any recent pictures, I have been reduced to thieving this one, which appeared on the "history channel" today.

Wade, very nice sit-up! Is that Mona at the far left of the picture?
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Yes it is. As Mona does a hind leg walk around the arena and a leap frog, both extreme physical feats but is getting up there in age, it is advisable out of respect/concern for her physical health to do only those two behaviors. Let the younger generation of tigers to the easy stuff.
Wade
its funny that the history channel sat in the same seat as I did and got the same picture
Ned,
I would have thanked you for the picture, if I could have figured out who Ned was. Sorry. Did you thank the young man in the cage?
Wade
yes mary ann that is Mona sitting on her seat. As she does 90 present ot the act(roll over, leap frog,hind leg walk) i gave her a break and left her out of the lay down and fire jump. She is going to be 16 next year and also her and one of the new young males she would have sat next to don't get along very well, so I decided to give her a break and leave sitting on her seat.
Adam
Adam, thank you. You probably know by now that I adore these cats, and have a great deal of admiration and respect for all of you who work with them and care for them in zoos and circuses. Will your act be anywhere near Detroit, Phoenix, or Valdosta GA in the near future? We really would love to see it sometime! Best wishes on your upcoming marriage.
Mary Ann
