Cody was calmly wandering the walkways of the New Haven zoo. He was on a vacation day, but he liked to come see the animals, and occasionally talk to them. Little kids liked talking to the animals too sometimes, so it wasn't anything weird. Besides, he worked here after all. As he was walking, he passed by the Tiger enclosure, seeing that one of the Tigers, Sage, a 10 year old Tiger that had been at the Zoo ever since he was a cub, wasn't taking his Medicine. Cody stopped walking, his hands still in his pockets as he looked at the tired, Bengal tiger lying down in the grass. He sighed, looking at how sad the animal looked.<br/><br/>Leaning against the railing, he peered into the enclosure and said, "Sage... Boy, your getting old. Surely you must be very tired and sore..." he started to say. Sage glanced up at Cody, but stayed where he was. "You gotta take your medicine... Be a good boy, yeah?" He gave a small smile as he watched Sage sit up a bit. "You're an old boy, I know you are.. But you sometimes have to do things you don't want to do..." he spoke gently to him. Sage gave a small huff for a moment before forcing himself to get up from the ground, walking and pacing around for a bit. He watched as he was going to sit under a rock henge for awhile where his food dish was. His dish had meat in it, as well as his medication tucked inside. Watching him eat, brought a smile to Cody's face.<br/><br/>"Well... At least your hearing still works, old boy.." Cody smiled as he got up from the railing, and walked along down the pathways, looking at the other animals, checking up on them. They seemed rather content right now, normal. Maybe today would be a good day for him and everyone else. Just by watching families pass by, kids with smiles on their faces and getting excited over seeing the animals. Made him feel glad to be able to walk around and see it all. It was a nicer atmosphere than New Haven itself.
