Sweet little thing…so grateful for those volunteers who are caring for him. mothernaturenetwork: Wildlife veterinarians and trained volunteers feed a pygmy elephant calf on Jan. 20 in Borneo, Malaysia.

  6. Each morning elephants get a hand scrub bath! What a joy to watch.  I had an opportunity to visit Maesa Elephant Camp which is home to one of the largest assembly of elephants in the north of Thailand.

  7. Book Club

    I am my own private book club.

    I usually read two books and a magazine or two at a time. Right now I am reading:

    Hannah’s Dream, Diane Hammond: if you liked Water for Elephants (which I LOVED) this is a wonderful tale of a man who is hired to take care of Hannah a zoo elephant.

    and

    The Monk Upstairs, Tim Farrington (I just finished “The Monk Downstairs”)

    I recommend both.
