Sure, I look a little frazzled in the above photo, but you'd be less than fresh too if you'd just finished a steamy safari into the jungles of Caswell County. For that is where we found 'Pacino' (Al to his friends), a 300 pound rescue lion badly in need of a dental visit. Whew! By the time this shot as taken, the good folks at Conservator's Center Incorporated had tranquilized the big cat, lovingly stuffed him into a minivan and with the help of many a sweaty volunteer, wrestled his lifeless form into the examining room of a most generous veterinarian - all while I fought to keep it in focus for the evening news. In other words, your typical Monday morning...

Wow, what a shot! A picture is worth a thousand words.
Yeah...that's a great shot.
I flipped out for a moment. I was reading your post and just focused on the words "stuffed him".
(whew)
Nice shot.
It's great pictures like this that keep me coming back to your site daily. 'Course I greatly enjoy your style of writing also. BrendaBee
D U D E ....I've seen some long toothed, crosseyed, bushy wiskered, pussy cats in my days but this one tops the list. I'm glad to see you get this close to nature without needing stiches.......The Old Man
what exactly constitutes a 'rescue lion'?
Loved it!
Stew, that's the same look you give when a station page goes off from a certain assingment manager.
This I know, for this I've seen.
