This was part of an email that Holly sent me. Thought I'd share it in the Dog and Cat threads.

We do not have to wait for Heaven to be surrounded by hope,
love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!

And isn't it the truth too, Serate.

(I feel the same way about my cats too! Love 'em to death )

Just pretend this is a big dog:



Rose-Tu, a 14-year-old Asian elephant and first-time mother, gave birth to a 286-pound, male calf at the Oregon Zoo at 3:56 p.m.
on Aug 23. The first-time mother seemed confused during the birth and showed aggression to the calf. Veterinarians and keeper staff quickly intervened, but reintroduction efforts are now underway.

"The baby is calling to his mom and she's calling back," said Mike Keele, the zoo's deputy director and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' species survival plan coordinator for Asian elephants. "Our veterinarians have examined the calf to see if he sustained any injuries, however from the behavioral signs we've seen thus far, we're very hopeful."

Keele believes that because Rose-Tu had never seen a birth before, she became confused when the baby was born.

"After several failed but energetic attempts, the calf finally stood up and took his first few steps," said Keele. "He has a good suckle response and took water from a keeper's finger within the first hour after birth," he added.

Rose-Tu is doing well after more than 31 hours of labor, thanks to a daily exercise regimen that has kept her in top shape.

I'm constantly checking the zoo site and the tv stations for an update saying the baby is nursing from the mom. Nothing yet anywhere.

Good thing I wasn't there, I'd be trying to take a pup home, too!

About her being a water balloon, you know Lillies are supposed to live in and about water, right? :-)
