Alchemy Meerkat Waves Good-Bye

It's the end of our visit with little Alchemy, he's actually almost on his way home to England by now to see his Mom right before the drawing to find his new permanent home. but we thought we would share a few photos from his last day here.

We decided to take a quick trip down the strip so little Alchemy could see some of the sights here in Las Vegas before he leaves.


The beautiful Bellagio fountains.
Paris? Are we in Paris? No?

Are you sure this isn't New York? I see lots of taxis here and there's that green lady!

We stopped sight seeing as Alchemy wanted to learn how to play a little poker.
Off to a really rough start.

*sigh* I'll take four cards please.

Woohoo! Does this mean I win?!

After that fantastic hand Alchemy decided he'd had enough of the fast paced life of Vegas and went out to the garden to smell the flowers.
Can you see me in here?

Ahhh, this is much better.

Alchemy sitting at the airport watching the planes take off and land wondering about his upcoming trip and what adventures lie before him now.

Very excited to see where I'm headed now and wondering if Studio Cherie will make me something wonderful for my next journey.

Look at this great pin I got!

And this little paper mache house too! I think this means I'm going home soon...yay!

And just look at all the great stuff that is coming with me too!
I already miss this little guy and his fun little antics. Keep your eye out here for news of his final leg of his journey and news of a fabulous giveaway soon. You can also keep tabs on him on his Facebook page.

I Did A Bad Thing...Taught A Meerkat How To Gamble

The further adventures of Alchemy the Meerkat on his tour of Vegas before he heads out to StudioCherie in Spokane Washington before his final leg before the grand giveaway to be announced both on the etteam blog and on the Meerkats Facebook Fan Page.

So after the excitement of actually seeing Elvis right on the strip had worn off I took little Alchemy out to play on the roulette wheel.
What do you mean I'm not a little ball?

A guy could get pretty dizzy sitting in this merry go round and I really want to know where the cotton candy is!.

Oooh, this looks just like grass! Blackjack eh? This looks complicated for a Meerkat. Where's the poker tables?


Well this hand doesn't look very promising...


Yeah yeah, I'll take four thank you very much.


Woohoo! Things are definitely looking up! Baby needs a new pair o' shoes!

*Stay tuned for even further Meerkat adventures!*

More Meerkat Adventures!

I can't believe I am still having computer issues BUT *knock on wood* I think I have most of them figured out now. Here's hoping!
But never mind that! We've got Meerkat adventures to talk about now! Here's little Alchemy.

Wow, that was a long trip am I really here? The sun sure is bright out here, I think I need some shades.
Yeah, this is my kind of weather.
Vegas baby! This is my kind of town! My very first stop here HAD to be the welcome to Vegas sign, hope Elvis is around!
Oh my goodness, there he is! It's really Elvis!! I'm just so excited! I need to ask him for an autograph!

Hmmm, I think he's ignoring me...wait, is he staring at that girl in the shorts!
Awww nevermind, a Meerkat just can't compete with that kind of competition.


Visiting with some of the residents here. Big eyed birds eh, I wonder if they are looking at me like I'm lunch or something.


Maybe if I blend in I won't draw their attention.



Woah! They are actually quite friendly little guys and gals! I like them!

Decided to go to work with my host. At 5am I'm really starting to regret this decision.


Ooof, this brush is awfully heavy, I think I'm gonna need a nap after this.


*Stay tuned for more Meerkat adventures! Next we visit Hoover Dam, squirrels and the strip!*
