A joyous

Princess,
the white lion-
lionbeauty in
Circus Krone
and a cordial
welcome
to my
internet-
diary.

Together with my
best friend Diamond
I live in a warm stall
of the Europe's largest
circus next to the female
hippo Poppäa and many
other exotic animals.
Our parrots awaken
me every morning,
as they loudly screech,
demanding their
breakfast.

From the window I can see lamas, ponies wooly camels, and
zebras. I have not yet seen our closest relatives, who have take
winter residence in the neighboring predatory animal stable their
winter residence impacted.
I can only hear the pride of lions as my 12 brown shimmering
cousins sing along with the exotic white lion, KING TONGA.
Today however we are to meet him for the first time, because
our carriage will going on a small round trip through the Krone Zoo,
in preparation of the long journey to Landshut, which is scheduled
to take place in a couple of days.
The first stop is with our future husband KING TONGA in the
nearby training manège. What a splendid lion king!
Snow white, with a thick mane and impressive blue eyes.
We are already looking forward to the lion wedding with him.
The tour continues to the "English" Berber lions who, while
sunning themselves in ultra violet lights , tell us, of their of
envy of King Tonga who received a royal visit in the person
of His Majesty Tupouto'a, king of Tonga, who is a big fan
of the lion beauty, King Tonga.
He interrupted his winter vacation in Gstaad, two years previously
to visit his namesake. "The king of Tonga King visits King Tonga"
was the headline of Munich newspapers.
For days the preparations for the summer appearance have
taking place for the the Circus Krone tour in Bavaria and
Baden-Wuerttemberg. On 1. April the winter season drew
to a close in the Krone Bau and Martin Lacey Jr. drove us
personally into the new appearance city.

There, the summer mansion
had been already been
established, a common
dwelling with KING TONGA
and two separate enclosures.
To the right of our outside
enclosure is a large,
training area with
several pedestals.

We looked very curiously at the assemblage of the surrounding
stalls, the unloading of the other animals and first free run of
our animal colleagues. In good lion mood we also also observed
our imposing husband, as he alternated on his stand throne,
and as he played with the scratch tree and observed us full of
anticipation.
What a manly lion!
Freely after the slogan "spring time, Easter, circus time" should
begin the crown appearance in Landshut on "Gründonnerstag ".
Before was general rehearsal and everybody was enormous excited.
Naturally we were also, because we heard that on Good Friday
our veterinarian has scheduled our first inoculation.
P.S. our human neighbor
in the Krone Zoo mist
Robert Gubinszik.
He is, the circus-tailor.
This morning he showed
us the very beautiful
circus uniform he created
for our entrance director.
Chapeau, Chapeau -
what a spectacular
achievement.
