Lol, started as a zoo keeper from tender age of 17, had to have a break after a back injury and ended up as a mother of 2.

Divorce led to a sojourn as a prison officer for 4 years, I found it just as rewarding as zoo keeping.

Family death in custody led to another halt in proceedings so came back to zoo keeping where I am most at home. Handrearing a gorilla certainly helps when rearing your own babies.

Being able to persuade a chimp or tiger to do what you ask just by body posture and tone of voice certainly helps when dealing with murderers who want to fight each other!

This last head injury has put paid to all that - so its me and my dog now
