The lost item has been found!

More and more travel photo reports featuring our toy manuls are appearing on the website. I have a team of my own that travels with me to different places, including on manul tours.

The team is led by a Saint Bernard from Switzerland named Baron. But we have manulization going on here! Recently, he has been joined by manuls too—Namika, a pin from the Moscow Zoo, and a Pallas's cat pin from the Russian Geographical Society (the earring on the ear). There is also a small Saint Bernard pin from Liechtenstein and a pin featuring the cat from Lizyukov Street (a famous Russian cartoon). 

Exactly a week ago, we returned from a Novosibirsk + Krasnoyarsk manul tour, and today it suddenly hit me—where was the Saint Bernard with his charges? I couldn't find them and ran off to work completely distraught. After all, I might have left them on the train or accidentally lost them in the street. I was beside myself for several hours. I wrote to fellow manul fans; they supported me, and once again I was reconstructing the events in my memory when it suddenly dawned on me—they might be in the little camera pouch. I calmed down, because that was a real chance of finding what I'd lost.

I got home a few hours later and hoorrrrraaaaaay—they really were in that gray pouch.

Take care of your toy manuls—and more besides!!!!
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me during those hours.
