This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

DC's Favorite Furball

Tai Shan is staying for two more years!!! Woooohoooooo!! I suspected this was the announcement when the National Zoo mentioned that the Chinese Ambassador to the US was going to be at this morning's press conference. Although, frankly, I didn't figure it would be through 2009. I was thinking 2008.

I'm glad he gets to stay! Hopefully, he'll have a new brother or sister before the year is over. Mei Xiang (Tai Shan's momma) was artificially inseminated twice (April 4 & 5) with frozen semen from Gao Gao who resides at the San Diego Zoo. Tai's dad is Tian Tian and lives at the National Zoo until 2010. Actually both he & Mei Xian are on loan to the National Zoo until then.

Read local news articles about Washington's Favorite Furball (this was said on the morning news about 5.15 & I'm still chuckling over it).
