Great news on this Mother's Day. Fiona and her Mom, Bibi, have graduated to interacting without the howdy mesh. There are still barriers in place to ensure Fiona's safety but this is a step in the right direction towards the ultimate goal to reunite them. http://cincinnatizoo.org/blog/2017/01/25/premature-hippo-baby-updates/ |

Until Monday, mother and baby could only say howdy and touch noses with a metal mesh between them, for Fiona's safety. So it was called a howdy mesh. She is very cute, but she looks more like a small adult hippo now than a baby. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
