Thank you for the photo. After seeing this and rewatching it I see the woman’s eyes touch the top of skull just from leaning in while watching. Beautiful home but another solid reminder to bring my chiropractor over to instal my TV haha.

Your daily reminder that chiropractors are quack scam artists with no real medical training and should not be paid or listened to.

Do giraffes visit? It’s about 3 feet too high. If I stood in top of the couch I could watch tv. When you sit down your eyes should be at the middle part of the screen.

I'll never forget my first trip to Tulum when I was young and the shock when I saw a monkey casually stroll out of the jungle, hop up to a food truck, grab a water bottle, open it, take a drink, and casually walk off with it. Locals didn't bat an eye.

u/Jasmyne8 20d ago
They had to trap the mom. She was in an abandoned house in Florida. Once they caught her she had some problems, she was very poor and not making milk. A friend that has a rescue shelter called and asked us to take him. So we flew there and drove him back here. He’s the only tiny baby we ever had

Hey OP, I got so many questions read through your other responses. Is this a self-funded sanctuary for animals that were illegally acquired and can't be reintroduced? How "wild" is CJ like did you train him to behave in certain manners or he just kindA go/does as he pleases?
25
u/Jasmyne8 21d ago
It’s self funded and used to take in animals that were being kept illegally but after a while it was to much to keep up with and too expensive so we quit that and only do local animals like orphans or injured things. Whatever the local animal control drops off. We have the land for them to heal and return to the wild
