Rio and her son Harley were out for a swim on a nice warm January Minnesota day when the accident occurred. Harley was swimming and started to freak out, jumped out of the pool, and hit his head on the cement.
The Minnesota zoo mourns the loss of this 7-month old baby dolphin.
Isn’t that sad!! How horrible. He was sooooo cute too.
Since coming here I have made some life-changing decisions, I think for the better. I now know more about myself, and my wants and needs for this lifetime. The main one I learned is---I absolutely hate French Onion Soup. That little bit of knowledge has totally changed my life forever. I will never touch the stuff again. It was okay the first couple of spoonfuls but then it started my stomach churning and I couldn’t handle it. Uck…
On another note, I was going to tell ya’ll about some of the town names around here. There is one town called Apple Valley. I don’t know what it is about that name but I really like it. So crisp and neat! Minus the snow and the fact that it is up North, I don’t know who wouldn’t want to live in Apple Valley. There is another town called Shakopee sounded out as Shockapee. It was the Shakopee emergency room I spent those blessed hours in. Okay I think I have bored ya’ll enough on that subject.
I made Salmon Croquettes the other day and no one died. If you don’t die within 24 hours of my cooking, I am sad to say you will probably make it. The good news is eating my cooking, REALLY builds up the immune system. jk.. I am an awesome cook and I should be (I have been cooking since I was eight).
These Minnesotans have been telling me that this weather we have been experiencing is conducive to March. I don’t know about all, that seeing as it is still dipping into the teens at night. Of course, these are the same people that say 10 degrees is brisk and 20 below is cold.
