They went to The Zoo without me again!

On a fine day in early March, Dad and Mom decided to check out the new arrivals at the Taipei Zoo, the famous Panda Duo from Sichuan Province, China, Tuan Tuan (團團) and Yuan Yuan (圓圓)! Needless to say, I was not allowed to go again.


Here they are! Strike a pose!


Can't hug the real panda, but Mom didn't mind.


Of course, Dad had to pose with one to please Mom.


He was also forced to stand with Big Black Bear!

Here are some other animals that they spotted other than those we saw on the last zoo trip with Grandma:


Gorilla in the mist!


A sleepy female lion. Zzzzzzz....


Rhinoceros!


Someone is yawning...


Elephants on land!


Feeding time for the Hippopotamus!


And a lonely camel. Where are his friends?

That's all for now, look out for my next post on a trip to Miaoli with Howler! Happy weekend, everyone!

Fun with Grandma - Part One

Things are a little quiet around here today because Grandma left last night. :( I miss her already! Since, it's a slow and quiet day, I thought I will arrange some photos and review the last three weeks with all of you.

The weather was erratic, sometimes rainy and sometimes freezing cold. On a few occasions, not sure if it was due to the change in the weather, I had the runs and vomited. So, we ended up not having too many outdoor activities.


When Grandma first arrived, they went to Costco to stock up on lots of foodstuff and more importantly, treats for me!


Besides shopping and feasting on Taiwanese delicacies, Grandma also went on some sightseeing when the weather was good.

There was one fine sunny day where we attempted a second trip up the Yang Ming Shan National Park. It was a long and winding road up the mountain and I threw up my breakfast in the car. Many cars were lining to go up as well and we didn't know how long we will be stuck in the queue, so finally the decision was to go to the groomer's for a bath since I had soiled myself rather badly. Sigh! Another failed trip! When will I ever conquer this mountain???

On another day, Mom tried her luck and called up the Zoo to ask if she could take me along! Silly Mom! Of course not! All kinds of pets are not allowed into the zoo! So, they went without me!


Welcome to Taipei Zoo!
