This is lori - I live in the Washington DC area with hubby, Fred and 2 dogs - Tasha and Robbe. Besides my day job [government scientist], I am very involved with animal rescue [particularly mill dogs]. Tasha is a special needs puppy mill survivor that I adopted 2 years ago. I really appreciate everyone’s efforts on behalf of all endangered animals.I am also involved with kilnformed glass - which is how I originally met Sandra via the internet. lori

I am from the Washington DC area too! I live with my husband, two kids (my daughter is 18 today! & my son is 16) and two rescue kitties (also a girl & a boy)! I love animals and have been a proud supporter of both wild and domestic animals for many years. I also love Asian art & culture and am very excited to be part of this wonderful panda adoption project!

Hi, I am from the New York area and have always been an animal lover. Right now I have many pets and rescue animals in my care. There is always room for one more in my house. I hope that we can all do something to help ease the pain and suffering of the people in China and our beloved Pandas. Hoepfully things will improve in time. It will take many months and years to rebuild what has been lost. One day I would love to go to China and visit the Pandas, hoepfully that dream will come true. Kathi

WELCOME KATHI!!! I so agree it is going to take a lot of time before thing turn around or folks in China. It’s very hard to wrap one’s brain around this kind of devastation. I”m thrilled you and Lori do rescue!!! Both a rewarding and heart wrenching undertaking. Bless your hearts

Good Morning, in the latest news from China today one of the missing 2 pandas XiXi who is pregnant was spotted by workers she is eating and they left a trail of food for her to follow back to Wolong. They said she looked good. That sure is good news.

HelloI am from Salt Lake City, UT. Born and raised. Utah is a wonderful place to live. I am a secretary at a Community College in Salt Lake. Me and my husband share our life with 2 mini schnauzers Max and Scooter, and 3 kitties, Big Kitty, Little Kitty and Tee Hee. I love animals, but Pandas have just endeared me to them forever. When I first heard to the earthquake in China, all I could think about the Pandas and if they were ok. I’m so glad Sandra has this project for us so that we can feel like we are doing something to help the Pandas, their keepers and build them a new home.

Hi everyone, I am Jackie I live in England by the sea with my husband and daughter, our house overlooks the harbour and across the channel to Wales it is a beautiful area to live in.
I used to design and make large bear soft sculptures until I injured my wrist a few years back. But I am back doing some small needlefelted bears which I enjoy. As a family we have always had a bit of a menagerie although these days we are down to a sweet cat, Koi, Sarrasa Comets and a dozen Guinea Pigs. I love feeding the wild birds and usually have a tame blackbird or robin so cheeky they will come in the house if I let them, the cat is on the other side of the house when I feed them of course as they wouldn't mix too well.
