The Blonde Diaries

Tell Me Thursday about Wordless Wednesday. This is one of my favorite memes out there right now. This meme allows you to go wordless on Wednesday and tease everyone with your photo. Then on Thursday, you explain the photo so that everyone has the “rest of the story”. So yesterday, I posted a photo of some type of animal. You can see yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday post here.  The responses I received were awesome.  A few people knew what it was while others had no clue.  That’s ok because let’s talk about that photo.

That is a picture of Toby which I borrowed from the Houston Zoo’s website.  Toby is a young red panda that is coming to “live” at our zoo for a while.  He’s been hanging out at the Chicago Zoo and is moving down here to replace the Koala that went back home to San Diego.  I didn’t realize zoos shared animals so much but it is kinda cool when you think about it.  Toby has made it down here and is getting acclimated to his new digs.  The zoo is also putting on the final touches to his new home so he is not on display yet but the big grand opening of his new home and his first appearance is scheduled for March 28th.  Mike and I are very excited to meet Toby and see what his personality is like.  The koala was nice but just sat in his trees and slept all day.  I hope Toby is playful because he looks so cute and would be fun to watch.  The Zoo has dubbed him the “Cutest Animal in the World” and has been leaving clues for a month now as to what he will be.  They unveiled his photos this week one of which I selected for my Wordless Wednesday post.

So there you have it.  I hope to get to the zoo soon and take my own photo of Toby to share with everyone.
