Our Animal Doubles at Knoxville Zoo

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Xena: OK, so I finally found a ‘puter to work on.

Mommy sent us pictures of her time at the zoo yesterday She said some of the animals reminded her of us. So instead of selfies, here are our (almost) doubles.

Lucy, Mommy said this first one reminded her and Daddy of you. You aren’t this big or anything, but she says you’re this gentle and sweet. Not only that, but this giraffe has your name!

Chia, yours is easy. None! She didn’t find any animals there that were long like a hot dot and fast like The Flash and and a combination of sweet and sour sauce. So, sorry, you don’t get an animal.
Chia: Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Xena: Well, there were the otters that looked a lot like you, but they were swimming under water all the time, so Mommy couldn’t get a picture.

Riley, Mommy found several animals that reminded her of you.

The lion is the quiet king of the jungle but can roar really loud, and also keeps everyone in his pride in line. You don’t bark much, but when you do, wow. It’s deep and the whole neighborhood can hear it.
The gorilla is smart and can be a clown like you were before I knew you, when you were much younger.
And the bear, well, he does his own thing, takes his time and walks a lot like you.
Wow. Mommy must really think about you a lot. I’ve never really given you much thought other than as the grumpy grandpa who I kinda stay away from except when I bark at you once in a while (when you’re laying down and can’t get up fast to get me!). But I’ve watched you play with Chia like you were a young pup, and I’ve seen you running through the yard and rolling in the grass. Maybe there’s a lot more to you that I realized.

I think this must be the one that Mommy and Daddy picked for me. Fierce and also loving.

Riley: Barharharharhar! So today you’re a comic, Xena. Come on, show everyone the real picture of the one Mom Amy picked.
Xena: Oh…OK. Uh, but what is it?

Riley: It’s a red panda, curled up taking a nap. She said you look that precious when you’re napping like that. *gag*

Xena: Oh, well, maybe it does look a bit like me. *grin*
I hope you enjoyed seeing our doubles at the zoo. And thanks so much to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday Selfies!

  11. While we loved those critters and the names they represented, we, too think the real pups here in this blog appeal to us a lot more!

  16. yes, i did enjoy your doubles, but not quite as much as the reall you’s… is that a word? Lucy, i never thought about it, my you shared the name Lucy with my mama’s mother. My mamas middle name is lucille, and her mamas name was Lucille, and before she became Mama,s Mama, her parents called her Lucy. sorry if that is confusing, love all the animals today. Beau.

  17. Well your “doubles” from the zoo are adorable but not NEARLY as adorable as THE REAL THING (YOU!!). My Mom thinks I remind her of a hippo – big and fat – not very flattering is it!

    Hugs, Teddy
