This is Laura Elizabeth...sh e's 22. i think she's got really big paws!!! My god....i was scared, but i fed her and touched her...even her trunk.
and yes she has three of her own dogs.

OH. MY. GOD.
Lin?@!!!?!?!?!?!? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! Tell us the story. I am JEALOUS BEYOND ALL REASONABLE BELIEF!
What was she like?! WHERE WERE YOU?! WOW! Did Gracie sniff you all crazy when you got home?!

Well. Rob, the new man, knows a guy who owns this elephant. he takes her to shows and schools and all over the country really. it's like a living to him. that's Chuck in the background.
he lives in Newaygo about 50 miles from Grand Rapids.
we went to meet Laura today when i was at Rob's house. we'll go back over there this summer when Chuck has Laura out in the yard and we can get pics of her in the trees or the grass and the light.
Grace didn't sniff me when we got back to Rob's house now that i think about it. she's getting used to the weird farm stuff.

-

That is awesome! I wish I knew the elephant man!! haha that sounds really funny but I am so serious! That is one cool experience!
-
yeah, i'd say you beat us... lol :)
-
Wow, Lin. What a cool experience! HOW FUN!
-
it was pretty cool. I get to meet her again when Chuck lets her outside to play in the yard. :) that's gonna be really fun.
the dogs in the last pic are her dogs. people don't get to touch them. they roll in the hay with her while she eats. one of them buried something in the hay and she went to munch some more and the dog wanted his thing back. Laura rolled her nose into a curl and when the dog went to pick up whatever it was he put there, Laura swatted him on the butt. Chuck says the dogs hide sticks and stuff in the hay and they never see them again since once it's in the hay, the elephant owns it. :)

I forgot...Laura throws out the first pitch every year at the White Caps game...this minor league baseball team here in GR
-
OMG Lin, that's awesome! Looks like you had a super fun time!
-
so what kind of dogs does she have :P
-
they look like labs...little ones.
-
Well, I sure never expected to see an elephant!
How lucky were you Lin!! You got to touch her! Put me in the jealous crowd!
Laura sounds like one special hephalump! And imagine her having her own dogs!
Looking forward to more pics when you see her again!
the whole shock factor is great, huh? :)

Yep! You take the cake for the year... How totally awesome! We never get to see family elephants... just zoo elephants.
