THIS JUST IN: Eet’s A Bebeh Grilla, People

March 1, 2013 By Brinke

The Cincinnati Zoo has itself a new resident, a five week old bebeh female grilla named Gladys Stones, that was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. (Her name is a combo of the facility name, and the last name of the family that cared for her prior to leaving for the Queen City.)

Gladys, make sure to have some Skyline Chili! (Ooo, and Graeter’s, too.)

FAVE FRAME™!

Double Happiness Announcement!

September 17, 2012 By Meg

Two faces to wash, and four dirty hands
Two insistent voices, making demands
Twice as much crying, when things go wrong
The four eyes closing, with slumber song
Twice as many garments, blowing on the line
Two cherubs in the wagon, soaking up sunshine
Work I do for twins, naturally comes double
But four arms to hug me, repay all my trouble.
-Author Unknown (BUT I SUSPECT HALLMARK)

Dearest Peeps! We’re very happy to announce that Cute Overlord Meg and hubby Sparky just had twins. The entire family is thrilled at the two healthy additions, including Aunt Chief Sister Officer. No names yet—maybe “Maru” and “Winston”? We’ll see. Hopefully we can get some sleep soon. Hooray! Hooray!
