It is gratifying to those of us who miss Wanda and WInky in Detroit, to see Wanda happily settled with a new best friend in such a beautiful place. Thank you, PAWS.
I am 55 yrs. old and have grown up with Winky and Wanda. As wonderful as it was to visit them in the Detroit Zoo it was with a sense of sadness to see them in that small enclosure. I am so happy that Wanda has survived the death of Winky and is doing so well. I still walk by their old enclosure and say a small prayer for what was and how well it turned out.
This is hypnotic with birds chirping and a slight breeze blowing, beautiful flowers blooming...the girls dusting, so happy and content....peace on earth
As the TES/CBS Assignment America pointed out - the elephants come one by one but stay two by two - each finding a friend to hang out with. It is just so lovely. And I like the touch of the flowers. I also heard a jet and thought that the noise might disturb them, then realized they heard so much jarring noises in the circus that planes would be nothing compared to what they heard in the circus for decades.
This is lovely. Two old gals leisurely enjoying the good life at PAWS. Some day I want to volunteer there. I would do anything from prepping the food to cleaning the stalls to...running the water for Annie's jacuzzi.

What a neat reunion. When I read the story on the paws site, I was laughing and crying at the same time. I am smiling so big, thank you.
