I was sadden last night when I heard the news that my favorite prognosticating camel, Princess, from Lacy Township's Popcorn Park Zoo past away earlier this week. Although I haven't posted any of Princess's NFL game predictions this season I still kept track of them. Princess had an astounding 11-7 record this year which included last weeks NFL playoff pick of the Denver Broncos over the San Diego Chargers.
She will be greatly missed.
The following announcement was posted on both the Popcorn Park Zoo's Facebook page and on Princess's webpage on the Popcorn Park Zoo's website:
She was a prognosticator extraordinaire, known around the nation and, actually, the world, for her ability to select winning football teams particularly in the Super Bowl. She was a friend and a companion to all who work at or visit Popcorn Park Refuge. And she never met a graham cracker she didn't like. But time has a way of being cruel, especially as our animals grow older and aging takes away their strength and ability to enjoy their lives.
It is with tremendous sorrow and many, many, many tears that we at Popcorn Park must tell you that our sweet, wonderful camel, Princess, has crossed the rainbow bridge and rejoined her sister Baby in a place where she can once again walk and live without the pain and discomfort brought on by old age.
She went peacefully yesterday afternoon, surrounded by absolute love in the company of those whose lives were so blessed by her presence. A memorial for Princess is being arranged and details will be posted.
Rest in Peace, Princess
