Thanks Carly, I was gone most of the day and didn't get a chance to look in on the
cam or Zoosite...

Carly, thanks for the updates. I am watching all the videos from DoxieMom19 and feel like I haven't missed a thing. I keep thinking it is a good thing that Lun Lun watches her step. Lil "Wee Lan" is just a little pipsqueek of a cubbie. I bet "she" squawks up a storm when Lun Lun puts her put down.

I think it is time to bring this out again!!

Thanks gigi and Carly!

Nice to see a good picture of "Weelan" & to hear that things are still going well. Thanks Carly & Beth! :leaveok:

Wee Lan is cuter than a bug in a rug! Wouldn't it be great if the cam had audio so we could hear her "vocalize".

Whoever came up with the unofficial name of Wee Lan needs to get a commendation. I am already trying to come up with names for the 100 day ceremony. Would be great if we could make Wee Lan official!! Maybe I will add that to my list....

That's funny, Carly! :lol:

Thanks to Queenie for coming up with the adorable name.
According to Google translate Wee Lan translates and is pronounced "Língchén lán". From what I can figure out Lan in Chinese is for Atlanta. I tried posting the actual Chinese characters, but kept getting an error code.
I think the name Wee Lan is doable although this wee one won't be a wee one for long!!!

Today's Update
"Thursday, November 11
Lun Lun left her cub a few times last night to drink and eat. This morning she left the cub and ate the largest quantity of leafeater biscuits she has eaten since she gave birth. This is all normal and it’s a good sign that Lun Lun is feeling well. She will gradually spend more and more time away from the cub in the coming weeks, so that she can eat and spend time resting. Sometimes when Lun Lun leaves the cub, it is quiet. Other times it vocalizes loudly and she returns to it quickly. At this point, the cub still relies on Lun Lun to keep it warm and it is likely vocalizing when she leaves because it feels cold. Everyday its coat grows and becomes thicker, and in a couple of weeks it won’t need its mother to keep it warm. Then Lun Lun will be able to spend more time away. But she is a vigilant mother and will return to her cub if it calls and just to check on it regularly."

Currently, Lun Lun is napping....

Friday, November 12

For the past two days, we have given Lun Lun access to an adjacent den. She is curious about the new available space and has left the cub briefly a few times to look around it. We also put her bamboo and biscuits in this den and she has gone over there to eat and drink. We saw the cub often on Thursday evening since Lun Lun is not holding it as tightly. The cub is starting to look fuzzy and its eyes, ears, front legs, and saddle look darker than they did just yesterday.

I had trouble earlier too Beth, but now it is working fine. I wondered if the number viewing had reached capacity or something. Right now Lun Lun just sat up and I think I see lil Wee Lan getting a bath!!!

That video was funny, Pat! Especially when the second buck went right over there & started rubbing his head, too! :lol:

Thanks for the update Carly! Can't wait to hear if Wee Lan is a little lassis or a little laddie!!

From yesterday, a frosty misty morning at deer run,
USEE has a new look now. You DO NOT have to log in order to watch. Just to post. The first mute swan has come in at Bird Point

kittenface · **Posted:** Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:34 pm

I have been watching the swan for a while now and listening to the Eagles
Looks like the water has risen a lot too

Thanks Carly! I keep watching and waiting for Lun Lun to get a snack, but I never seem to be at my computer when it happens. Oh, how I would love to have sound on this and hear her talk to Wee Lan.

Beth · **Posted:** Wed Nov 17, 2010 4:19 pm

Been on vacation and wanted to check in on Wee Lan. :pumpwave:

Thanks for the updates Carly...What Atlanta Panda news do you hear SgB?

Wednesday, November 17

The cub continues to grow every day. When I returned from my weekend on Tuesday, I could not believe how big the cub had gotten in just two days! The dark areas of the cub’s body have gotten even darker and the fine white fur has gotten even fuzzier. The cub’s belly is rounder than ever! My favorite part of all mammal babies is their healthy, round, full bellies. Every time the cub is visible I look at its tummy and I know it is getting plenty of milk and care from Lun Lun, which is why it is growing so quickly.
