Title: Re: two elephants meet after 20 years Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 29-Aug-11, 06:21:08 AM I love the way they cannot seem to stop touching each other, once reunited. And that poor keeper, Solomon! Yes, Jeanne - a good one!

Quote The Elephant Sanctuary (TES)in Hohenwald Tennessee was where Shirley and Jenny met after 20 years. They were inseparable for several years after this film was made. They both had leg injuries and slowly but surely made their way around the enormous sanctuary. They shared a stall and were entwined like you saw in the video. Sadly Jenny passed away recently and Shirley grieved and often visited the grave of Jenny. But after a few months, Tarra kept coming to Shirley and as if she realized that maybe Tarra needed a mother figure, Shirley took here under her wing. You see, Tarra, the first member of the sanctuary is a loner, but now she can be found with Shirley walking miles to the lake and all around. TES is a wonderful place. The website is elephant.com. I'm sorry this is so long, but you can tell I have been following TES since 1999. Another wonderful story is Tarra and her dog Bella. It was on CBS, I think. It also has a video at You Tube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Au2cQGaQBc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Au2cQGaQBc) Title: Re: two elephants meet after 20 years Post by: Carol P. on 29-Aug-11, 10:09:05 PM granny 20 posted this on Kfalconcam.
