Got back on a Sunday night and as night was turning dark we were all in cheetah pens trying to move cheetahs that were not supposed to be together. littleC has grown by a 1/3rd bigger. Chewbaaka has a sore foot - so he sat at the door this morning crying with his paw held up - a cut on his toe. Worked with our Vet team on 2 of the 5 cheetah workups - vet team working like a well-oiled group - 2 vets- 2 retired nurses (volunteers), University of Florida students, 2 vet techs, 2 reproductive physiologists - the rest of our CCF team and students. Had spitting cobra next to bedroom window in mid-morning - Bruce caught it - got spit at in eye - (he’s OK thankfully) - snake has been released - far from house. Pouring down rain - roads over-flowing in Otjiwarongo. OK - its green here - and we have cheetahs coming out of our ears! Thanks for all your help and appreciate all your help in our collective efforts to SAVE the CHEETAH. Posted by Laurie Marker

Very encouraging news on all fronts!!!Spots is so cute. My donation today is in honor of Chewbaaka, hope he is on the mend quickly. Give little C a big hug from me. Dr. Laurie, really inspiring what CCF is accomplishing, thanks so much.

You know, I was thinking it would be a great idea for CCF to offer E-cards for special occasions, or just to say hi. You could feature some of the orphans that need sponsorhip on the these cards. Just today, I sent my brother an E-card for his birthday, from the Gorilla Fund. It’s a really great way to get the message out about all endangered species.

Is Spots the little dog in the picture? He’s adorable. A spitting cobra? My goodness you have to be very brave to live there. I would have totally freaked out over that. LOL! Lisa

Hi Lisa and all. Yes, the puppy on the photo is Spots, and another little female was donated soon after, also from Holland! We are about to send our e-Letter out. We hope you are on our mailing list!
