What Zoos do for people- Claudia Pina

Chapter 3

After I introduce my pets to the rest of the team, we get to know each other while the food is cooking.  My dog, Nanskia, puts her ball at claudia's feet asking to play with her and i notice claudia looking down at me asking for permission and i giggle and say yes but just to warn you once you start playing with her she will never stop playing with you. After getting to know others, Alexia says the food is ready and then the whole team runs into the kitchen to get their food and I wait to get mine. I sit between Alexia and Alba  and right across from Claudia and  mapi and Atinana, once I get my food. Claudia runs her foot up my leg and I start blushing hard. Both Alba and alexia nudges my side and tells me to eat so i eat my food. The team starts teasing me and gets to know me better while we are eating. 

I look down and I see both my pets at my feet and my sister's dog nala begging for food and attention. I start laughing and I nudge my sister and point under the table and she looks under the table, rolls her eyes and chuckles. Alexia gets up from the table to go put the animals out of the kitchen and I get to know everyone else. I look over at Claudia and she gives me a wink making me blush and Alba sees and she starts teasing me. Myself and Claudia start talking across the table and she asks me what kind of work do you do and I tell her that I'm a zookeeper and a veterinarian technician for the Barcelona zoo.

Then the team starts asking how I am liking my occupation and I say that I love it so much. one day you all should visit me at my job they smile and say definitely and we know Claudia will come visit you all the time. Alexia then brings up the idea of having team bonding at my work. After a while of talking we all decide to go watch tv and relax a little and as soon as I sit your dog and cat climb up on your lap. The team and alba and alexia all turn and look at you and they all start to laugh once they see both your dog and cat laying on top of you.

You turn and look at them and say  they do this all the time. I'm used to it. They all at the same time say they look so cute laying on you and you reply not when they're sitting on you and you're trying to eat. A couple of hours later you look at the time and say well i am heading out i have work tomorrow and you look at alexia and ask if she wants you to drop them off before you leave for work tomorrow morning.

I give both of my new sisters and alexia's teammates a hug and then i pick up my cat and my dog follows me out the door to go home and as soon as i walk thru the door i feed the animals and then i take the dog out one last time  and then i get ready for bed and i fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I wake up early the next morning and do my morning routine and then i feed the animals then take the dog out for a walk and then i went back to get the cat and then i dropped the animals off at alexia's then i went back home to collect my things for work and as soon as i get to work i check in and then i go to the the mammals area to feed and clean exhibits.After i am done with the mammal exhibits i go and check in with the hospital ward. After working in the hospital ward I sign out for the day and I leave to go back home and as soon as I get home I shower and change and go over to Alexia's to get my pets.

I take my pets home and I decide to take the dog for a long walk and then I get home and  I see Alexia waiting at my door and she asks me if I would like to go to dinner with her and her teammates. I accepted the offer and I then went back inside  to relax before getting ready to head out to meet alexia and her teammates for dinner. I fed the animals then I put on a nice red dress and ankle boots then I left the house to go meet Alexia and she drove us to the restaurant. Alexia and I meet the rest of the team at the sushi restaurant and I sit next to claudia. Claudia and I talked throughout the night.

After the dinner Claudia and I exchanged phone numbers so we could keep in touch and on the next day off I invited Claudia over to hang out. When Claudia arrives I invite her in  and my pets greet her and I get us some drinks and snacks and I come back in from the kitchen to see her playing fetch with my dog and my cat laying down next to her. I pulled my phone out and started filming Claudia playing  fetch with my dog and my cat lying next to her and I sent it to Alexia and I said they're comfortable with her. I sit down next to Claudia and put the drinks and the snacks on the coffee table and I turned on the TV and asked her what she would like to watch and she said anything so we turned on a comedy movie and enjoyed each other's company with naniska on both of our laps.

then we decided let's take the dog out for a walk and enjoy each other's company before she has to head home to pack   for an away game. when Claudia left  for the night you fed the animals and then made yourself dinner and after dinner you jumped in the shower and then decided go to bed early. I woke up to my alarm going off and fed the animals for breakfast and took the dog out and when you got back from your walk  you dropped the animals off to either alexia or alba for the day. you head back home and get   Into your work uniform then you make yourself a quick breakfast and pack a lunch then you leave to go to work and while you're walking down the hall you send Claudia a text saying good morning.

Claudia send you a text back saying good morning and have a good day at work and you reply back thanks and have  a safe trip. while you are in the car driving to work you receive a text from Alexia saying that the team wants to do a team bonding at the zoo on our next day off so you reply back let me know what day that will be on. You get to  work and you punch in and you go to the hospital bay first to see everyone there and then you go to the mammal area to Feed the animals there and to clean their exhibits and various other tasks throughout the day and while you were heading out you Sent Claudia a text asking her how her day went and she responded back tiring and long  and then she sent you a text back asking you how your day went and I tell her the same thing and that I was heading back home to spend time with Alba and my babies.
