Happy Fourth of July everyone! Like every fourth of July I can remember in my past, it is overcast and a bit rainy here. Not cool. Although sort of ironic that it’s typical British weather and today is the day we became non-British. Hmm.
Anyway, I can’t believe I forgot to post this in Things I Love Thursday last night: My mom sent me this video of these two guys that raised a lion cub that they bought at Harrods. Keep in mind that this was in the 70s, a time when it was apparently not weird for baby wild cats to be sold in department stores. Anyway, they named him Christian, he was really cute. But, as lions tend to do, he grew up. He was eventually too big to fit in their apartment, so they were forced to introduce him back into the wild at the Kora National Reserve in Africa. Well, a year later they went to visit him to see how he was doing. They were told that he had become the head of his pride – this meant that, since he was fully wild now, he would never recognize or remember him. I’ll let you watch the video and see what happens:
Never underestimate the power of love!
Lovey lovey,
Pontius
Aimee "The Ponz" Pontius is just a simple girl from New England who moved to the south for college. From there she spent a summer in Northern Kentucky partying, made some bad decisions (and some good ones), dropped out of college, moved back in with her parents and now...well now this blog. Her friends call her The Ponz, Ponzy, Pontavius, Cuntius, Raponzal and various other forms. She likes cuddling, eating with chopsticks, and playing in the rain.
