Hawthorne Elephants #3

Photo #3 The elephants were stretched and hosed off to cool them. I didn't sweep them clean, as they were put back out after graining for 4 more hours. From left to right Lottie, Minnie, Queen, Joy, Gypsy, Rhoni, Debbie, and Liz.

Pssst... Wade,
Uh the grey two tailed hogs as a rule, don't do the lay down sit up like that. Being a cat guy, I can understand the thought process, but I still don't think it will work..

Casey,
Speaking of "cat guy", what in the world do you know about sit ups?
LOL

That Beatty/Cole Debbie, turned out to be a quite a large girl. Haven't seen her since she left the show, but she looks good in this photo.

Jim Elliott,
Not only one of the biggest female elephants I have been honored to share some space with, but one of the kindest natured also. Until somebody "threw down on her", then the fury of Hades was unleashed. That goofy skinny, scrawny, bony, Frieda, whom I am also sure you recall, would a couple of time a week think, "by God, I think I can take her today." 2 minutes later, I'm helping a trembling Freda back on her feet, asking, "what the hell were you thinking?" Nicholas the Duke of Hawthorn, witnessed a lot of Debbies prowess in the ring. When he "didn't" think he wanted to come in for the night, all I had to do was take Debbie into his pen with me, and suggest that he "did" want to come in. Gunga Din Jr., with you know what swinging, cried like a baby as he ran for the door.
Sorry Buckles, but I just really miss them.
