Next Stop: Williamsburg, Virginia
Busch Gardens BIG NEWS! Sarah and I are going to be moving! We are moving to Williamsburg, Virginia, to work at Busch Gardens.
Pet Shenanigans The Busch Gardens in Williamsburg has a version of the pet show Sarah works with at Sea World called Pet Shenanigans. Her boss asked us if we both would be interested in making the move to work with this show. It didn't take us long to answer "yes."
I love the Williamsburg area and have several friends there. I worked at the Williamsburg Busch Gardens for two seasons prior to my 11 years with Ringling Bros. Circus. I have very wonderful memories of my time there, and I am excited to be returning.

We are due to be in Williamsburg around the beginning of February to get the show and animals set up and to rehearse. My next doctor's visit for my knee will be around the end of January. I am hoping that I am given a clean bill of health and will be able to start on this new adventure with a nice, strong step!
