I have worked in the animal department for about 5 years. Some of my favorites include ferrets and birds. I am also known for my weird obsession with things relevant to the 80's.
I work Tuesday-Saturday and can be seen training our pigs on occasion.

The Case of the Missing Lock

September 21st, 2011

With all of the construction going on, things move from one place to the other and sometimes get lost in the process. For quite a while, a lock went missing that was attached to one of our vehicles and was gone for several weeks.

On a day where the conditions were perfect I was able to spot the lock. Unfortunately, it went down a drain hole.

I had to pretend I was MacGyver and devise a way to retrieve the lock. I went into our tool closet and was able to find fishing wire. I attached this fishing wire to a snake hook and weighed it down. You can see in the picture below how Marilyn is in admiration of my skills.

I know the suspense is killing you. You're thinking "Did Jill get the lock out?"
