Not having been with you for very long, I can say you find the most...um...interesting, unusual, bizarre subject matter to share. And I thank you for that, Debra.
I fell in love with giraffes as a child. My grandfather took me to the circus when I was about 6. He bought me an inflatable giraffe about a foot tall. I probably still have it. I took such good care of it that it still held air well into my college years. Probably doesn't anymore. And Eugene is my new favorite giraffe picture!
How often have I worried about the deep thoughts my husband seems to be having, thinking that he's probably going over all of the dark worries of the universe and also, is he possibly thinking about leaving me? And if I ask him what he's thinking about, it's generally something like the fuel filter on the boat. Yes. The CPR one. That's hysterical.
🦒🦁🤣 I love the lion jumping! We need more memes showing us to be careful when we write; don't assume the reader will know the jump is horizontal. But, once the misunderstanding happens, let's enjoy the laughs!! Sproing!! 🤣
Every time I see a giraffe, I think back to the time I took my three-year-old son to the San Diego Zoo. We practically lived at that place when the kids were young, and it didn't cost them a thing to get in. It was in the spring. A crowd of people were standing around the giraffe enclosure. Fascinating critters. Anyhoo, the kid asked me why the pink snake was on the giraffe's belly. I started laughing . Jr. panicked and started crying about the snake. My very pregnant sister was bent over, hysterically laughing and the crowd joined in. I nearly wet myself trying to explain that the critter wasn't being harmed by the pink snake. That was over forty-five years ago and is one of my fondest memories. Thanks for the laughs, Debra.
Giraffes have the most soulful bedroom eyes. Not that a shorty like me can see that far up! There's a house in Portland called Giraffic Park and they have all sorts of giraffes! Large sculptures outside. I've never been inside but I've seen pictures. It's quite a collection!
Giraffes are amazing animals and the hairy muzzle on that baby giraffe is just begging for a kiss! Whenever I see a giraffe, it reminds me of a huge rocking one in my hometown's shoe store. As a little girl, I was way more interested in climbing up for a ride than getting new shoes!
These are great, Debra! Thank you so much for sharing. I love giraffes. Not sure if you have a seen a video on YouTube of a hotel whereas the giraffes join you for lunch....through an upper window! They stick their heads in the open window. It is quite delightful! They are beautiful and gentle animals.
BEST retirement gift ever...a dedicated blog from the awesome Debra and so many beautiful giraffes. Thank you, Debra. Thank you everyone. Hip Hip Hooray!

Love these! We once saw giraffes st the London Zoo as they were mating. Lofty love! LOL.
Oh so many good ones here! I love the scarves on the last though!
...what fun, Debra.
The CPR and the look out one had me cackling!
If it's any indication, I'd say Sean is off to a good start with retirement, what with being in his beloved Ptown, for his birthday to no less.

Congrats to your friend. Retirement is the best. And I love giraffes. The smiling one looking up is a great photo.
The cpr one lol
A giraffe with a sore throat needs loads of scarves.
How long DOES it take for a giraffe to throw up ... oy, I'll be pondering that all day!
Too funny.

Happy weekend to you 🎉
Congratulations on joining the retirement club Sassybear! Here's to many years of searching out giraffes.

I love Giraffes too. Their eyes are so sweet to look at.
How sweet.

Thanks for the smiles, Debra.

Also, CONGRATS to Sassybear! Enjoy the lack of a schedule!
Can confirm these husband thoughts, ha.

I love these and am so happy for Sean the giraffe lover.
Seen giraffes at Chester Zoo. Love them.

@ Linda's Relaxing Lair -- Yes, I HAVE seen that video and love it! Wouldn't it be great to stay in that hotel?
If I had to do CPR on a giraffe I’m pretty sure the poor thing wouldn’t make it.
I’m just not that fast. I especially love the scarfs lol
Eugene looks like a young Jerry Lewis.
I like giraffes. Happy World Bee Day Debra x
To retirement and giraffes!
Congratulations on retiring!
Love these!
We have giraffes in our zoo and years ago I was there the day a baby took his first steps into the bigger area where people could see him.
@ Polly -- Oh, I didn't know it's World Bee Day! Thanks for that info, Polly.
