Zoo Atlanta Panda Cub Updates

Monday, August 31

For those that did not know, yesterday was Xi Lan’s first birthday. For the special occasion he was provided with a multilayer colorful ice cake (with sweet potato frozen inside) and papier-mâché balloons. We gave him about 10 minutes alone with his treats before we let Lun Lun in and he used his time wisely. He climbed on the cake and tried to eat parts of it and really examined it from every angle. Then he approached his balloons with caution from the climbing structure. But, once he reached them, he had no fear and inspected each one carefully. He then decided he would take a short nap. But, as soon as Lun Lun was let in, he decided to go back after his goodies. Then, in an effort to protect his cake from Lun Lun, he carried each layer of his cake one piece at a time up the climbing structure, chewed on it for a bit, dropped it, and went back for the next layer. After all the adventures, he slept for the rest of the day!

Speaking of water intake, I have to go on a 24 hour liquid diet starting tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM in preparation for a colonoscopy on Wednesday morning....just a routine one....but I'll have to stay home near a washroom for 24 hours after taking the 'cleanse' twice during the day :o :Sh:

Asked to compare these two books, one student turned in the following book report,
with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories!

His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report.

Titanic:.... Cost - $29.99
Clinton :...... Cost - $29.99

Titanic:...... Over 3 hours to read
Clinton :.... Over 3 hours to read

Titanic:....... The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe..
Clinton :... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.

Titanic:.... Jack is a starving artist.
Clinton :....... Bill is a bulls**t artist.

Titanic:.... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton :.... Ditto for Bill.

Titanic :..... During the ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined..
Clinton :..... Ditto for Monica.

Titanic:....... Jack teaches Rose to spit..
Clinton :.... Let's not go there.

Titanic:...... Rose gets to keep her jewelry.
Clinton :...... Monica is forced to return her gifts.

Titanic:..... Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton :...... Clinton doesn't remember Jack.

Titanic:..... Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton :..... Monica.. ooh, let's not go there, either.

Titanic:..... Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton :...... Bill goes home to Hillary - basically the same thing

If the professor really gave this student an A+ for this book report, I can see why so many kids are not very 'literate' when they graduate :o

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you're all safe from the fires! My best friend lives in upper Tujunga Canyon, and was evacuated the other night. She was trapped for a while, fire in the canyon below, the road was blocked by fire, and fire above. She has 5 fire units protecting her and her home till they could get her out! Finally, a break and they evacuted her. The copters were dropping water on her property and home...last word this morning all is safe her home and belongings. Some of her property was burned, but the home is safe. Take care everyone!

Jill - Katie and George are precious, they seem to like your computer, do they chase your mouse. rofl [/big][/color][/b]
rofl No, Carole, they don't chase the mouse but if they see the cursor moving on the monitor they will follow it! :D

Thanks, we think they're precious too, even when Katie is acting up & pooping on the shop floor & peeing on the astroturf in the shop! (we've tried everything to get her to stop lately, whatever we try doesn't seem to work more than once!)

I always wonder
where these wildlife trails will lead me.
I drank the whole 27 oz. of water in my kleen kanteen,
It turned to hot water by the end of the hike.

Jill - I never knew that cats pee and poop in places other than their litter box. I guess she is trying to make some kind of statement and marking her turf. Anyway, she is still precious. <3

What a close call for your friend Vickie :8O: At least she is safe and maybe her house was spared because of all the water dumped on it to get her out of there.

Glad she is okay and :X: for all the others in the path of the fires.

:'( :'( :'( for the loss of the two fire fighters and all the animals who have nowhere to run to

It is so sad about the fire fighters. I pray that no more lives (human or animal) will be lost.

Penny - how funny

Summer glad to hear your friend got out and is AOK - very scary indeed

Topa - lots of trails in our parks/camps are deer trail and really are the shortest route between A and B! Many times they become main trails in our scout camp! LOL....... so much for as the crow flies!


oh gosh so sorry to hear about the loss of the firefighters ..... very sad

The bird aviary gets the east morning sun..
I put the sprinkler on so they could enjoy a sunshower.
Two are doing just that. I can hear the others inside the aviary
singing away too.
They also have a fan on now and the fan is spraying the water inside.
