(Come join us at Teapot Tuesday -- the story makes a lot more sense ifi you check out this thread: Forums at Splitcoaststampers)
This week, the teapot ladies are helping Sam, a zookeeper who is in the dumps because the flamingoes he takes care of have flown the coop --literally.
Well, good news for Sam. A zookeeper at the Atlanta Zoo (which has quite a big flamigo exhibit, by the way) has retired. That means everyone on down the line moved up one spot, resulting in them hiring a new assistant zookeeper for giraffes. The guy they hired was the keeper at Jeff's Giraffe Ranch, located near Tiger, GA. The assistant keeper has moved up to head keeper at Jeff's, leaving a prime opportunity for Sam to get in at the ground floor as assistant giraffe keeper at the Ranch. Come on down Sam!

Oooh...this may be just the perfect opportunity for Sam....now that Ramon has been spotted albeit with several different women,he can rest easily that he didn't endanger Ramon's life in any way....and now he can move on....and giraffes are such stately creatures...surely more befitting a man than frilly pink birds....by the way...I've been to the Atlanta zoo and do remember the flamingo exhibit....since they are one of my favorites....then we went across the walk to Cyclerama....wow!!! that is awesome..
this is a great card...love the simple stamping of these fellas...they don't need any color do they....thx for playin along this week

Great story, love your giraffes and checked paper. It would make a great masculine card. Shame no kangaroos are involved - I've fished out a coaster that has a zoo-keeper and kangaroos, now just to work out how to make it into a card!

Go, Sam, go! Those giraffes are too, "two" cute!
