Snaggle Tooth
Snaggle Tooth and two other African lions (Pantheras Leo), Snaggle Pus and Leo came to us from Texas on in July of 2002. They all lived in a garage for 17 years. Yes, 17 years!
Sadly we had to euthanize Snaggle Tooth in June of 2003. Years of neglect and poor nutrition weakened her spine and she lost the use of her rear legs. Tim and I spent a few moments to say our good byes to her. I was scratching her head and figured she was probably sick of my attention. I moved away to let her rest. She then crawled over to me and rubbed her head against me for more. That was my undoing. Lions are very social creatures.

Slowpoke
This is Slowpoke, a bobcat kitten found by some folks up in Mooringsport. He was brought to us with a broken hip and crushed pelvis.
He was brought to us with a broken hip and crushed pelvis.Yogie thanks our friends in Mooringsport. Slowpoke was unable to walk very well because of his crushed pelvis and broken hip, but he still got around pretty good. Slowpoke died on September 12, 2002.

Update on PoohBear 2/15/2008: KTBS 3 News: Dying Tiger Receives Plenty of TLC
Note from the Webmaster on 3/15/2008 – I learned at the bake sale today that Pooh Bear snores. Did you know that Tigers snore?!? (I didn’t!)
Update on Pooh Bear 3/27/08: We have sad news to report. Our beloved Siberian tiger, Pooh Bear, died on March 27th. Pooh had a urinary tract infection that did not respond to antibiotics. His advanced age was determined to be a factor. We are all very sad and will miss him dearly. We want to thank everyone who has sent their condolences and know they are appreciated.
