Saturday Matinee

And now for a brief interruption.. Most Amazing Ever. The Elephant That Came for Breakfast. Speaking of elephants...You can always go to this site for more about The Elephant Sanctuary.
Not a new story but worth watching again and again! So amazingly touching - the story of Shirley and Jenny, two crippled elephants reunited at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee after a 22-year separation. The bonding was immediate, intense and unforgettable between the two former circus elephants. 

Jenny and Shirley were both at the same circus when Jenny was a calf and Shirley was in her twenty's. They lived one winter together then were separated twenty-two years ago. It is very rare for elephants to display this kind of emotion in captivity, and it's probably the first time such a thing has been documented on film.

Jenny passed away peacefully October 17, 2006 surrounded by those she loved most ~ Shirley, Bunny, Tarra and her caregivers.

I liked how the Vikings in the middle of the narrative stop to remove their horns. I noticed though they had them back on later on. One can't seem to discard horny vikings !
