What lightens the weight of the world more than tiny, poofing pandas?
Sending light (and poofing) to help get you through this week.

A Salute to Mom Pandas!
It’s Mother’s Day in the US so I thought it would be good to salute the panda moms that sometimes…um…don’t get the respect they deserve from their cubbies.
I will try to NOT have it be all Pinky all the time
It seems like I should include at least ONE ‘toon with Mei yelling at Pinky! (I tried really hard not to have ALL of them be yelling Mei!)
I hope you enjoyed our Mother’s Day Salute to Panda Moms!

School Days! (or was that “daze”?)
How is it May already? School seems like it just started and here we are rolling up to summer. Have the panda kids learned anything from Beary Poppins?
The Nooz continues to be grim. Mittens won’t shut up and go away. The Supremes are ready to take away the rights of women, and that doesn’t seem to be where they will stop. The rights of anyone who is not a christian, white, straight, male are being challenged everywhere you look. Abortion and the right to choose has been the law of the land since I became an adult. It’s time to raise our voices, show up and vote these jerks out of office. (I realize we can’t vote SCOTUS out, be we can vote for Democrats up and down the ballot.)
I wish Pinky would just poof the bad people away.

The Month of Pandas is coming to an end…

And who better to celebrate this 50th pandaversary at the national Zoo than the ENTIRE panda family in residence!?
Well, who didn’t think that Pinky’s family would track her down?

The Moods of Pinky
The 50th Pandaversary celebration of all things PANDA would hardly be complete without an examination of every thought that has ever passed through the magnificent brain of the most important panda that ever resided at the Smifsonian National Zoo!
Oh sure, you might think Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were those most important pandas, since they were the first to reside in Washington DC. Or maybe you might think that the well loved Tai Shan (aka #1 son), being the miracle cubby who arrived in 2005, is that most important panda.
But only 1 panda was VOTED an icon in a national campaign by the Smifsonian! Guess who!!!!!
A tip of the tiara to Pinky’s twidder typer for this idea!
Soon to be available on my Redbubble shop as a T-shirt and some other things!

It’s Pandaversary Celebration Weekend!!!!
50 years ago, the Nixon Pandas arrived in Washington DC to great fanfare!
Since that momentous occasion, pandas have participated in many events in our Nation’s Capitol!
Yes, pandas have become a part of every day life in Washington DC!
What do you say to another 50 years of panda diplomacy?

Pay no attention to those reports of Ling Ling biting one of her keepers! I’m sure it was just a little panda nip!
Pinky is at it again.
What makes you think I have any control over her?

Back in the Panda House …at Last!
It was 50 years ago in April when when the Nixon Pandas came to live in DC. They were not the first pandas to arrive in the US…that honor goes to Su Lin the first, who lived for several years at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
But 50 years of pandas at the Smithsonian National Zoo is a big milestone to celebrate. The arrival of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, after the deaths of Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing was cause for celebration. The pictures of Mei Xiang as a demure cubbie make my heart sing.
Who would have imagined the bounty of cubbies, from Tai Shan to our beloved miracle, Xiao Qi Ji (aka Bikkie), who arrived when we thought all hope had flown.
And now, the Panda House runneth over!
