Ole Blue Tongue by Christine McKay **SOLD**
I remembered the blue tongue of Willy the Grizzly who was part of a friend’s exotic family (jaguars, pumas, wolves, etc.) in Utah. One day as I came to his cage, he and I placed enormous paw against small hand. Then he slimed my face with his long blue tongue. So soft and quite bear-breathy but a sweet moment. He was a gentle giant and appeared in the movie, “Jeremiah Johnson.” Remember the “Griz” who chased the old Mountain Man into his cabin? That was Willy. He wore a special saddle. Was quite a sight watching my friend and Willy lope across the mountain meadows…
