Flat Tamir....the end of my trip

Like all good things, my trip to Nova Scotia is coming to an end....

This little guy stands on the rocks outside the MoonLight Beach Inn.  

We were sad to say goodbye to our friends.  We had a big dinner the last night of our stay.  

The next morning we were on the road back to the U.S. ....we were lucky not to see any of THIS stuff!!

These guys need to find the water....no wonder they're not getting anywhere...

Another example of how BIG these critters are...

Even the Blueberries are HUGE!...

Mom wanted to buy this but her suitcase was already at the weight limit (hey...who are we kidding...SHE  was too!!)

Back in the U.S.A!

We finally settled into our hotel at the Bangor Airport...

Here I am on the plane...it's fun to go away but I'm looking forward to getting home!!

One more thing......the last night in Nova Scotia....I finally got LOBSTER!!!!!!

I hope you enjoyed traveling with me.  I know the 3-D kitties are ready to take over the blog again but I'm glad I got to share my adventure with you.

Flat Tamir goes sightseeing

Today I'm headed out with Mom and Dad to do some sightseeing.  The day started out with this fev-ver stopping by the Inn to check things out.  Isn't he handsome?

On the other paw, this dude is a bit skeery and  I hope we don't run into HIM!

We drove to a place called Fisheman's Cove.  I figured this place finally promised lots of good lobster for me!!  

First we visited a cool Marine Info center.  Take a look at this tasty I mean interesting looking fev-ver!

There were lots of nice shops and little fishing shacks...

I tried to get Mom and Dad to stop here....

As I wandered around I started thinking that I might have to go out and trap my own lobsters...

I did find a cool shop called Duck and Cover that had lots of tasty kitty and woofie treats....I really hit the jackpot here.

Mom and Dad stopped for a nice lunch on the water.  I was SURE I would get some of Dad's chowder...

Do I look like I'm wasting away?  You would think they might pack a Flat Lobster for me!!

Flat Tamir - Hope for Wildlife

Today we're going to share a very special place in Nova Scotia.  Hope for Wildlife.  We found it because this purrty lady was staying at our B&B and was volunteering there for 4 days. 

You can read the story of how this wonderful place started HERE.  There was a TV series on Canadian TV about the sanctuary.

Hope for Wildlife's Mission statement:

"Connecting people to wildlife in a positive way - through knowledge and understanding - the Hope for Wildlife Society believes that education through rehabilitation is the key to a sustainable future.

The first place we stopped was the pen where the racoons were eating.  Watch the little guy at the very end..

.

See me in Mom's hand?  He SMACKED me and knocked me right down!!  Mom said I had to go to the car after that.....

In the Learning Center there are quite a few animals that have been helped by Hope for Wildlife.

Topaz is the official greeter...

Oliver the Owl was brought in with a broken left wing which had to be amputated.  He also ended up losing his left eye.  He was a cool dude..

We met Jezebel, a ferret that had been let loose by her owners...

These two sweet sugar gliders Marcel and Ophelia...

Clover was probably smuggled in by someone and then released into the wild.  It's pretty sad when you hear how many sweet anipals are illegally brought in and then released.

This little girl just had her leg amputated.  They think she might have been hit by a car.  Mom got to pet her...she was really scared and they wanted to get her used to people.

If you can,  take some time and visit their website.  There were lots of other anipals there being helped.  Some get released back into the wild, others stay at the sanctuary.

We hope you enjoyed our visit with Hope for Wildlife!
