Do I Really Want To Go Outside??


This series of pictures was taken after Shirley had rested several hours, met Tarra, eaten her veggies and watermelon, and relaxed under the cooling spray from the hose. Everyone was waiting in anticipation to see what Shirley would do when she realized she was free to roam the beautiful Sanctuary Valley. Photographers and friends had their cameras ready to document this most special occasion.

As you can see, Shirley was MOST cautious! These pictures were taken over 2 or 3 hours of waiting. It was very important that Shirley made the decision for herself as to when she was ready to go outside... so we waited and waited and waited!!!

Yeah! I'm gonna do it!!
Wow! This is huge. I'm going back inside for awhile.
