Little r has been battling a nasty cold all week, and last night wasn't a restful night for him. Needless to say, he woke up a crankpot. Normally this would mean snuggling up and enjoying some downtime, but we'd been doing that quite a bit this week, and all I wanted to do was get little r out of the house. He (and I) needed some stimulation. A hike was out of the question, the boy needed some serious distractions from the fact that he wasn't feeling great. A friend of mine here had just gone to what sounded like the perfect place for our Sunday madness: Wildpark Schloss Tambach.
It's a wild animal park that sits behind a palace in the country just north of us. It was a quick 30 minute drive, and I still think one of the best parts of the place was that it was dog friendly, so we were able to bring the whole family. That made for one very happy dog. Have you ever seen a dog around exotic wild animals? It's a hoot!
We were dressed for the cold, but it ended up being an absolutely gorgeous day. Good thing because this hat didn't last long. (I'm hoping he cooperates with his hat more when it starts to get really cold this winter.)
Staring out into the elk herd....
Little r quickly made friends with a sweet little elk...
Off we go to find some other cool animals..
Like moose...
Wild pigs...
Sweet little ponies...
Crazy racoons... this raccoon is literally growling at Rani in this picture.
A lynx hiding up in a tree...
and a pack of wolves (Big R's personal favorite)...
The wild animal park sits behind a beautiful palace. You can see a herd of deer lurking about in the fields.
We decided to join the herd....
Rani had to stand back to avoid scaring off the deer.
Turns out it was little r that was the one we needed to worry about...
The deer eventually got used to the crazy bear and came over to say "hello".
More pictures of the Schloss Tambach. Big R wants to live there - haha.
Overall it was a successful trip. It was a sweet little park on a beautiful day. We got out of the house despite all feeling a little under the weather, and the puppy got to come, too. This is one tired pooch! And little r slept for three hours until we woke him up for dinner. We're very quickly deciding that might not have been the best idea.
