Monkey See, Monkey Chew and Other Lake Superior Zoo Classes

Cathy Kates — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:37:30 +0000

When I was little, the Zoo was merely a place to go and view animals. Or, in the case of Duluth, to view animals and to ride the big slide that was in the small amusement park near the parking lot.

I am a huge animal lover. My friends even joke about how meticulous I am when someone is watching my dog for me and I present to them my manifesto of rules.

When I got the text from a friend that Dolly had passed, three came to mind, Dolly Parton, THE Dolly Llama and Dolly the llama at the Lake Superior Zoo. The news of any of them passing would be sad, but I was shocked to hear it was the relatively young llama at the Lake Superior Zoo. I had spent some time with her during Boo at the Zoo this year and she was her usually sassy self. She kept trying to nose her way into our cauldron of candy!!
