Animal Adventures of Georgia
[Verse 1]
We pull up with the morning sun
Packed van doors and a task begun
Little hands at the edge of the shade
Big eyes wide when the enclosures are laid
From county fields to classroom floors
We bring the wild right through your doors
A parrot, a Mara , a tiny beetle wing
A thousand questions starting to sing
[Pre-Chorus]
And you lean in close
Then you let it show
That wonder lives
Where the wild things go
[Chorus]
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Come and see, come and see
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Wild hearts running free
Mammals, birds, and reptiles
Insects from faraway
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Awe and wonder every day[Verse 2]
A tortoise slow with a weathered shell
A snake that curls like a silver spell
Feathers flash when the owl turns near
And the kids go still just to look and hear
We cross the state with a living story
Not for the fame, not for the glory
Just to plant that spark in every child
So the world feels huge and wild
[Pre-Chorus]
And you lean in close
Then you let it show
That wonder lives
Where the wild things go
[Chorus]
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Come and see, come and see
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Wild hearts running free
Mammals, birds, and reptiles
Insects from faraway
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Awe and wonder every day
[Bridge]
When a child reaches out
And the whole room changesWhen they learn the name
Of the wings, the tracks, the traces
We build that moment
We guard that flame
So every young heart
Can call the wild by name
[Final Chorus]
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Come and see, come and see
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Wild hearts running free
Mammals, birds, and reptiles
Insects from faraway
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Awe and wonder every day
Animal Adventures of Georgia
Awe and wonder every day

This Saturday!

We have all of our animals who live in outside habitats, moved indoors warm in our home. A gentle reminder to bring your pets indoors. We wish you all a warm and safe Monday.

Meet the adorable Aloka! Today I was honored to be invited to help do a veterinary checkup on Aloka! She was a wonderful (and very cute) patient! As a stray Aloka joined the monks on a Walk for Peace through India. Her loving and protective nature, along with the white heart on her head, lead to her adoption by the monks. Today she is melting hearts across the USA!
