Jody, marine animal behaviorist gone housewife
Because Oshee asked, here is my life before kids. I trained Dolphins, Sea Lions and exotic birds. Photos curtosy of my Dad and fellow trainers.
Dolphins playing basketball
Fish jump….yes, that is me with a herring in my mouth.
Swimming with Connie.
Ring toss with Sammy the sea lion

This photo was taken at Ocean World by a photograper for National Geographic magazine. I understand that it was published in one of the issues, but I am not sure which one as I never saw it.
I can’t say that life has been boring, that’s for sure.

What year were these pitcures taken? ‘Cuz I am DIGGING your green eyeshadow you have on! What a cool job!
P.S. Hope hubby is doing A-OK now!
Thank you! Those are great pictures. See now I can tell my kids I “know” somebody who trained dolphins. They are going to think I am so cool. Especially when I show them the pictures!
I bet you have some great stories from those times. It must have been the fulfillment of so many dreams to have those jobs.
Wow, how cool!
Wow! That looks like so much fun!
That is so cool! One of my best friends in high school got a marine biology degree and
went to work in New Orleans at the aquarium. I haven’t heard from her in ages, but
I’m sure she’s doing that kind of stuff.
YOU totally ROCK! What an awesome experience!
I love to hear what mommies were before the beebees
were born!!!
Awesome!
You had the coolest job, I am going to show this to my girls, maybe I can encourage one of them to go in this career direction. Wow!
