To Pocatello Zoo supporters and Charlie the Bear fans...

Charlie, the Grizzly Bear's birthday is approaching quickly, and I urge you to go see him and wish him a happy birthday.  He is getting on in years, and I understand is having some health issues due to his age.  He is not going to be a fixture at this amazing facility forever, so make sure you go appreciate him while he is!!  I was heartbroken to see that he's just not the vibrant, playful bear he used to be - another reminder that we need to take the time and smell the roses while they are in bloom!

Happy Birthday Charlie!!
