Episode 7 of season two launched with our first guest, Leigh Spencer. She is the Director of Education for the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  Leigh shares some hilarious stories with us (did you know that baby alligators cry for mom just like a human baby?) and how the skills zookeepers use every day to keep their animals happy and healthy might have more human"animal" implications than we ever realized.

Eliza and Heather explore the topic of friends...for sheep, for cows and for humans and what it really means to "make the best life possible" for any species.

Oh, and the fog calendar. ;)

It's midwinter on the prairie and that can only mean one thing: Lambnesia is back.  No matter how weary, how stressed, how "done" they feel after a lambing season, it's only a matter of time before Heather and Eliza are struck by its force again...and all the illogic that goes with it.  Couple that with perusing garden seed catalogs and thinking about baby chicks and farm people everywhere are busy prescribing themselves a busy summer of work.

Why do we do that?
