My par...Hi, I'm Samantha Whisenhunt (Schmitt). My parents are Cheryl and Eddy Schmitt who had a tiger act. Phil and Francine Schacht were my aunt and uncle by love and faith, not by blood, but closer than any other family members. They're incredible, inspirational people to say the least. Phil Schacht passed away September 24, 2017. And, unfortunately, my aunt Fran passed away a few days ago on September 19, 2020. As stated, Dondi passed at Southwick Zoo in 2010 at 36 years old. Joshua and his wife, Carrie, reside in Groveland, FL. with an array of animals (some may need homes if anyone can direct me) including snakes, horses, ponies, dogs, cats, birds, a prairie dog, tigers, etc. They left a heck of a boot to fill. They're putting on a show together with Dondi again though! I know they're happy and reunited now.<br />Rest in Peace<br />Phil, Fran & DondiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944169968885301988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-8707411998487666272017-05-27T17:33:23.104-04:002017-05-27T17:33:23.104-04:00Phil and Francine forever gave front-page credit t...Phil and Francine forever gave front-page credit to Mack MacDonald for training Dondi.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920466115948257597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-39867793484679048852017-05-27T12:11:08.175-04:002017-05-27T12:11:08.175-04:00
