Our city's recreational department had some fun classes available this summer. Little Bird took a weekly tumbling class and Lizard enrolled in a week long animation course. I like signing the kids up through the city because it's affordable and allows the kids to try something out to see if they like it without a long term commitment. The Chief wasn't eligible for most courses, but I was able to sign him up for a Critter class.
The lady running the class took sick animals into her home. The Beaver came from Louisiana after the hurricane, and because it wasn't out in the wild while it was young it never developed water repellent fur. Without it, it gets too heavy when it's wet and will drown.

Petting a Chicken...he was scared of it at first.
The armadillo was a wild thing. When petted, it would jump straight up and its bedding would fly all over the place. One little boy got covered in the stuff and was pretty upset.
He tried feeding it lettuce but it wasn't interested.
The beaver spent the entire 45 minutes pushing his cage all over the room. It reminded me of The General. He would stand up on two legs and use his cage as a walker just like a little kid learning to walk. I couldn't get a clear shot of it walking because it would go too fast.
