Today was my first day to volunteer at In-Sync. I was assisgned to work with Melissa Baker in "Chuffin Park." This is a large encloser with Tigers on each end. One end houses two sister and a brother - Pepsi, Athena, and Ukidi. The other end houses Stryker, Cinncinnati, Serena, Mystery, and Salem. Our job was the clean each encloser and the walkways. What does that entail?
1- make sure there is no dried meat on the fences or top of their houses
2- pick up all poop and if it has stained the concrete use bleach to get it up
3- look under all toys to make sure there aren't bone fragments on top of their houses or on the floor
4 - pressure wash the inside of their houses and the remainder of the encloser
5 - replinish water if it is nasty and get out any grass or dead bugs
6- spray the inside of their houses to prevent mosquitos
7- clean the walkways and make sure they are free of debree
A lot goes into cleaning the encloses for this amazing animals. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back. I will say sometimes it stinks (literally), but I can deal with that.
Here is a picture of Cincinnati on the playground. You can't help but fall in love with his sweet face.
Another pic of Cincinnati just hanging out in his "room."
These pictures are of Salem. He was picking up this huge disk and dragging it.
This is his stop staring at me and taking pictures of me look.
