Andie loves those babies


In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately,
due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny
size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health,
although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused
the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate
another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there
were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians
decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother
of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be
found quickly, were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in
tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?
Take a look...you won't believe your eyes!!

David DeMordaunt rocks on



David FINALLY joined up with another band. We went to college together at the Y, where he was on the debate team with me. These days he practices law to keep the mortgage paid, glad to hear that he is heating up Northern California at night.

To hear his music, buy a cd, hit the title of this post. David is billed as "San Francisco Bay Area musician influenced by the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, and Blue Oyster Cult."
