Oh, thank you! It's reassuring to hear that I did well on the Zoo. It was a bit nerve-wracking writing about a place I'd never been. But I did some reading and then based it on my experiences wandering through Washington Zoo on the theory that old zoos are all somewhat alike. (As opposed to Toronto Zoo which is incredibly modern.) They've still got their gorillas behind glass at Washington Zoo, in the Ape House. But I think there's a little yard they can get into, too.

Oh, and I was having great fun with Bodie trying to be subtle, in an incredibly unsubtle way, and Doyle missing it utterly. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, too! Thank you again for the feedback!
