Wow!
I have a question, though. How did he manage to foot massage the very first lion without being killed?
No, this is not a hunting photo.....Briton Alex Larenty lives on a game reserve in South Africa and spends his days giving lions foot massages. One day, he discovered that every time a lion was applied a cream to cure an infection on its paws, the lion would slacken and appear to smile. Since then, he has massaged all the lions in the park on a daily basis. Thanks to the pampering, he created a bond such that just by seeing him arrive, the lions lie down, begin to stretch their legs and smile. With love and respect, all relationships are possible!
I wonder if he would make a house call for an elderly woman who would also love a foot massage.
I'll massage your feet then you can teach me to dance in the moonlight.
@Betty deal!
@Gwen_Wanderer
When shall I expect you?
@Betty umm, I was expecting YOU!
@Gwen_Wanderer Well, since I don't drive, (I gave up my licence several years ago) and I can't fly. The walk will be just a tad too long.
@Betty since I am directionally impaired, I would most likely go in the opposite direction the route I should take.
I do not drive after dark. I will need cataract surgery in the next year or so. That might improve my night vision.
However, that is not why I get lost.
@Gwen_Wanderer Would you like me to send you a GPS? I still have the one from before I gave up driving. Although it is an 18-hour drive, that may be a problem.
@Betty when I semi-retire or retire altogether, I might take you up on that!
@Gwen_Wanderer Deal.
By the way...I am also "directionally impaired".
@Betty we are twins separated at birth!
What a wonderful discovery. How come circus performers \ trainers didn't discover this?
The 1st time the lion probably had a thorn in its foot that it couldn't remove on its own. There are many such examples of need other than hunger being satisfied by unusual\ unexpected human : animal reactions.
