I love going to the Denver Zoo. I don't get to go often, but when I do I usually take pictures of the animals that I see. Just wanted to share a few of the pictures that I have taken in a slideshow format. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

This particular creature is one of the crawl-a-see-em insects that you can get up close and personal with.When I first met Rosie, a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula, she was crawling around on her handlers hand.

Yorkie Health Tip: Taking Care of Your Yorkshire Terrier's Ears
A Yorkshire Terrier owner needs to pay close attention to the Yorkie's ears. Because of the Yorkie's long hair and the growth of hair inside the ear, Yorkies tend to get ear infections and ear mites. You need to inspect your Yorkies ears at least once a week. Following is a list of dos and don'ts for Yorkshire Terrier ear care.

The Yorkshire Terrier Makes a Terrific Pet
I must say that I am partial to the Yorkshire Terrier as I own a beautiful little Yorkie named Bea. They are extremely loveable and have a lot of good qualities.
The Yorkshire terrier is a small dog and this makes them pretty versatile as far as the size of living space required. They are happy, loving and energetic with an extreme loyalty to their families. You couldn’t ask for a sweeter temperament and if they aren’t too little they make good pets around children.
Some Yorkies can be on the small side (sometimes only about 3 to 5 pounds at maturity), this size of dog wo... From: The Yorkshire Terrier Makes a Terrific Pet
