Zookeeper got done with work a bit early on Monday, so we decided to drive out and see Hunter, who was doing a well test. Hunter took Lemur out to see the water...
Bee and Penguin were good to stay out of the water, but Lemur had other plans.
I think Hunter intended to just let Lemur splash around a bit, but pretty soon Lemur was all but right in the water.
Lemur was having the time of his life! He would hit the water with his hands, sending it spraying all over himself and anyone standing close by. Hunter ended up almost as wet as Lemur. Three or four times Lemur stuck his head in the water!!! This stuff was coming out really fast too! I can't remember how many gallons a minute Hunter said it was, but it was tons. You should have seen the size of puddle it was making. Hunter told Mr. Zuckerman that it was just a little puddle... Mr. Zuckerman said he'd hate to see one of Hunters BIG puddles... this one almost swallowed up the truck when we drove through it.
This little critter was saturated by the time he was done. Luckily, Mr. Zuckerman had a towel in his truck. We stripped down Lemur, wrapped him in a towel and put on some clean clothes. He was happy to get in the truck with his blankey and warm up. I think Lemur would have stayed the rest of the day with Hunter and helped him work if I would have let him. We headed back to the farm to make home made ice cream for Family Barn Evening. The girls watched a movie on the way in Mr. Zuckerman's truck... sure is fun being spoiled by Grandpa Zuckerman! :)
