Yoong Ping is One today!
Yoong Ping, the little panda cub I adopted in September last year, turns 1 today!
Happy Birthday, Yoong Ping!
I’d wanted to be there to celebrate her birthday, but with my sister away at the same time, I have to be around for mother, so I’m only going to Wolong early next month.
Meanwhile, I have some recent pictures of her, thanks to an American couple, Greg and Francie, who were volunteering in Wolong until recently. I began corresponding with Greg, mainly to ask for more information about the volunteer work there, but then I remembered to ask him to enquire about Yoong Ping for me. He did, and found her, and took some pictures for me!
Carrie Phillips, Asst Director of Pandas International – I’d adopted Yoong Ping through them – also asked Wolong for some recent pictures, and requested that they have a little birthday party for her today. But because this is the busiest time of year for Wolong (lots of cubbies waiting to be born!), they replied that they can only arrange for some special food for her and to take some pictures of her on her birthday, too. So, while I wait for her birthday pictures, here are some recent ones taken by Greg and Francie, and also arranged through Pandas International.

I thought the picture above looks a lot like one taken of her when she was around three months old:

Here’s one from Wolong, arranged through Pandas International:
