I recently posted a drawing and asked you to tell me what was happening here.
original drawing
Many of you commented, but no one was exactly right. The above drawing was indeed of a bear- Gus to be specific. The round dot on his back was his puff of matted hair. I did not think the puff was drawn accurately (unlike the rest of the drawing) so I added the “dart”, “spike-like” projection out of the back. There is no way I could have drawn this- my artistic skills are poor at best. I do mostly-fine drawing names, and only moderately okay drawing stick-people. This drawing was done by Aaron.
Here’s how I would have drawn the above:
Sherry’s version
The drawing was made so we could visually review who would be standing where during the bears’ physicals. (It was also made for the enjoyment factor because everyone knows I like a good drawing). Positioning is critical during any procedures with dangerous animals, even when they are behind bars. Jessi is the primary trainer for the bears, so she will be there. Dr. Vanderford will be there, with Katy of course doing the physical.
We’ll let you know how the physicals turn out- maybe Aaron will draw another picture!
It’s got to be a bear, even though the head looks more like an alpaca – I can tell by the big paws and tiny tail. And it looks like a tranquilizer dart on its back. Not sure about the small black elliptical mark right next to the dart…hope it’s not a tick…
WENDY- who drew the picture?
to be fair: I drew the “dart” in the animal’s back because I thought the small black dot was drawn inaccurately.
Regardless, neither represent a ‘dart’ or a ‘tick’
First guess was alpaca and you were going to look at Equinox’s grey spot on her back. But you have Jessi here who isn’t a farmyard keeper and Dr.V who I think does the bear care. So maybe bears and you are gang hem acupuncture
* giving them.
Thought it was a horse at first, but with Jessi’s name there it’s got to be a bear. Sherry drew it, I think it’s of Gus and that slash mark is his dread?
I already know what’s happening from ETW meetings, so I won’t guess that part
