Happy Birthday Dylan ... Enjoy your pet tiger!

Wow, I still can't believe that my little boy is 10 years old today. It seems like just yesterday he was a toddler asking me to hold him up so he could see the animals over the railing. Asking me to read him the signs at the zoo and tell him about the animals. "Are the vulnerable or endangered Mommy?"  That was his favorite question to ask and the first thing he learned about all the animals.

Now he is the one teaching me about animals and surprising me every day with his continued love for animals and conservation.

I'm not sure where I would be without this little guy. He changed my world forever when he was born and every day has been an adventure ever since.

So what do you get a kid like Dylan for his birthday?

The kid who last year wanted nothing but to raise money for the tigers at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Helping build a new home called Tiger Trail was all he asked for.

A kitty that looks like a tiger of course!




Thanks to my friend Heather, who posted an adorable picture of a rescued kitty on Instagram a few weeks ago, our family has grown.

This adorable 10 week old kitty stole our hearts the minute she arrived today.

Oh, and Dylan named her Tiga too! In honor of the new female tiger at the San Diego Zoo.

Happy Birthday Dylan!
