Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Looks like a great week of sunny weather coming up (except for tomorrow, perhaps). Could anybody use some weekday-only zoo passes? I'll give four to the first person who can tell me what Pittsburgh Zoo animal's name was inspired by the same fashion movement that lent a line to the song "Yankee Doodle."

Macaroni penguins got their name after the gaudy, 18th century "macaroni" style of dress that's referenced in the song "Yankee Doodle."

So, I would purchase a ticket for me, my 7 year old and my 2 year old, but does my 9 month old baby need one as well? He really wouldn't be partaking in any of the activities, and would probably just hang out with me in the carrier.

Something tells me you'll receive hundreds of offers to provide Honey with a loving home after her surrogate duties are over. In the unlikely event you have any trouble she's welcome to join my family - we have three dogs already but she's special enough I'll make room for one more!

One of our African Painted Dogs gave birth last week, but died shortly after delivery. Things looked bleak for the nine pups until we found a Humane Society shelter dog named "Honey," who had just finished weaning her own litter. Last week, she met our Painted Dog puppies, and within an hour let them feed from her. Sin...ce then, she's been letting them nurse regularly, even making sure each gets enough milk. Check local TV and newspapers for more...Read More

A litter of African Painted Dog puppies were left orphaned at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium when their mother, Vega, died shortly after giving birth. The mortality rates among African Painted Dog puppies is already high, and without a mom, these pups seemed doomed. ...

They filmed part of the movie on the street where I live. One day, he hung out with us for 15-20 minutes while they filmed with his stunt double. Very warm, genuine, down-to-earth person. Kind to small children and dogs, too. :-)
