MY MOTHER "LALEA LEOTTA RAY" ALSO HAD A HINDLEG WALKING LAMA....AND THE ACT WAS A SIX LAMA ACT....SHE LOST TWO TO POISON GRASS AT THE BUILDING WHERE THEY TOLD THEM TO TIE THEM OUT IN PUERTO RICO.....SHE LOVED HER ANIMALS VERY MUCH.....IN NO TIME SHE HAD TWO REPLACEMENTS IN THE RING.... SHE ALSO HAD A PICK OUT ZEBRA ( You know that pick out numbers)....SHE ALSO TRAINED AN ELEPHANT NAMED QUEENIE FOR AN ACT WITH THE ZEBRA AND A DALMATION DOG....IT WAS CALLED " QUEENIE & HER SPOTS & STRIPES"......"QUEENIE ALSO WATER SKIED." MY MOM WAS THE FIRST ANIMAL ACT TO PLAY THE FONTAINEBLEAU HOTEL IN..... MIAMI......AND THERE WERE NO ROPES OR BARRICADES TO KEEP THEM IN THE RING.... IF ONE OR TWO WOULD STUMBLE AND FALL OUT OF THE RING THEY WOULD SCRAMBLE TO GET BACK INTO THE RING...I'M SORRY I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LAMAS AND THE ZEBRA.....THEY ONLY ERECTED A SMALL PLANK RING CURB.... I DO GO ON ABOUT MY MOTHER.... I AM VERY PROUD OF HER.....SHE GAVE ME MY GREAT LOVE FOR ANIMALS.....Barbara.......
