Oh, GIPHY had #Capybara under it.
Chimp: Hey it's my turn
Gorilla: No, it's not *shove*
I would love to know what got this reaction.
So we visited the Cincinnati Zoo yesterday. It was the missus' first time ever, and my first in over a decade. I once did an "internship" there, and visited it most of my childhood summer visits.
Such wonderful pictures, Finn ! Thank you for sharing your trip with us
These caught my eye today, too, and made me smile...
I saw something a bit odd on my bike ride today (I know another bike story
), when I go the park where I take my break before heading home, there were two women there with 2 horses, with a farrier working on one of the horses, right there in parking lot. While I was watching, one of the ladies kept walking one of the horses in circles, and at one point she stopped, and the second lady came over, and she walked the horse some more, and then stopped and the second lady something I couldn't hear.
When I first saw them during my break they were behind a trailer, either the farrier's or the horse owners', so I couldn't really see them and thought maybe it was a vet and they'd had an accident. I did hear hammering, but they've been working on some of the houses near the park, so I wasn't if it was from a house, but I went back through the parking on my way home, and by that time they had moved around the side of the trailer, and I could see them. It was definitely a farrier, he had all of his tools and equipment spread out, and even had those apron things they wear on their legs.
It kind of sucked that they were out there, they were taking up almost half that side of the parking lot, with the big trailer, three people, two horse, and all of the farrier's stuff all spread out.
It's just weird, because all of the times I've seen farriers, they were always either at the horse owners' house, stables, farm, ect. I've never seen one working in the middle of a public parking lot like that.

A lot of farriers travel because some people with horses don't have a trailer or don't live close enough to take them to one, but the situation you described is just ridiculous !
It's bad enough for the merchants whose parking is being occupied by the people, horses, trailer, and equipment, but who in their right mind wants their horses in a lot where people drive like maniacs ?!
When I have my dogs with me I wont go anywhere that doesn't have a sidewalk or median where we can walk safely, so I can't imagine parading them in a big circle in the middle of possible traffic...
