What a great summer it’s been so far! Even though dad and I are taking a break from traveling the country doing our College Entertainment shows, we have been really busy appearing at fairs and festivals, private parties, trade shows and lots of other fun events. And of course there is always plenty to do working at the office and taking care of all of my exotic animal friends. But this summer we are also making a lot of fun changes behind the scenes too.
The most fun change for me so far is re-naming the IQ Zoo to Mindy the Monkey’s Menagerie! It’s the most fun because it was my idea. We call it Mindy’s Menagerie for short, but I like the full name better. All of my exotic animal friends are still included, and we are even adding a couple new friends soon. But I think the name Mindy the Monkey’s Menagerie really describes us better. After dad read me the definition from the dictionary, I knew it had to be our new name.
The dictionary says that a menagerie is a collection of wild animals that are kept specifically to be shown to the public. Doesn’t that sound just like us? Of course we do more than just let people look at us…interacting with people is so much fun and an important part of my mission to educate and entertain as an Animal Ambassador. So even though we are more than just ‘props’, menagerie is a perfect name for my group of exotic animal friends.
So Mindy the Monkey’s IQ Zoo is now Mindy’s Menagerie. You can still learn all sorts of fun facts and interesting things about my friends and I at the Mindy’s Menagerie page. And you can still pick your favorite exotic animals for your next party or event there. Everything is still the same but the name!
