Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! Not only do I love to eat and be with family, we also celebrate big with the animals. They all receive extravagant diets filled with their favorite treats. Take a peek at how we celebrated this year!

Halloween was quite different this year for the animals and I. Instead of spending it back at home we packed our bags and headed to NYC where we visited our two favorite ladies: Kathie Lee and Hoda on “The Today Show.” We’ve been extremely fortunate and excited to work with both of them and to spread our message of conservation and responsible pet ownership. What was so exciting about this appearance though was that I was able to dispel common myths and misconceptions about Halloween Animals. Take a look at some of my favorite moments preparing for ‘TODAY’

Whether it has fur, feathers, or scales it probably has been featured on “Creature Feature” – the weekly segment I film with Today’s Channel 6. In preparation for our one-year-anniversary I’ve decided to post some of my favorite moments while filming the series (Like this baby Sika Deer)!!!

I always tell people the worst thing about working with animals is dealing with death. It’s a fact of life and when you are surrounded by animals 24/7 it’s inevitable. I’ve been very fortunate; the majority of my animals are long lived and I have not suffered a severe loss in years….until now. One of my beloved emus Cosmo passed away last week…

Take a look as I wrap up my stay in the Seychelles…

As a kid I’ve always dreamed of seeing a sea turtle in the wild. As exciting as this was to me I never thought in my wildest dreams it would ever come true. Living up in the mountains of Southern Idaho literally placed me thousands of miles away from any wild sea turtles. The opportunity to not only see a wild sea turtle but to watch it nest had to have been the most rewarding experience from the visiting Seychelles. Take a look as I share with you some of my favorite memories exploring Cousin Island…

We took a day trip to one of the most photographed islands in the world: La Digue. It’s famous for its giant granite rocks. These rocks have been sculpted for thousands of years by the ocean waters and provide a fantastic backdrop for any photo. All photos set aside, La Digue’s unique atmosphere combined with its fantastic wildlife make it a place anyone would want to visit. Check out some of my favorite “La Digue” moments…

At the beginning of this year I was fortunate enough to visit one of the world’s most untouched pieces of paradise: The Seychelles Islands. Home to dozens of endemic species including the famed giant Aldabra Tortoise, these islands changed my life forever. It’s hard to sum up everything in a blog but I’ve decided to do my very best by sharing some of my favorite personal photos and memories…

Our destination for the next five days was ROME. I had never been to Europe so you can imagine my excitement as we flew into Italy…to me it looked exactly like an Olive Garden commercial! Vast pastures, trees, and vineyards as far as the eye could see! I made incredible memories in this ancient empire and am so happy to share some of them with you (i.e.: me trying to “fight” a gladiator in front of the Colosseum).

I tell people every day I have the best job in the world. I literally get up and do what I LOVE to do: work with animals. Now there are the ups and downs. Sometimes it’s not too fun spending hours upon hours cleaning and scrubbing. In the end though, the rewards are incredible. Working with animals has taken me to many amazing places. Just recently I was fortunate enough to visit a tropical paradise teeming with wildlife: The Seychelles. Now getting there wasn’t easy. The Seychelles are a group of islands located off the East coast of Africa; literally half way around the world! In a series of the next few blogs I’m going to take you step by step through my journey.
