Pootie & Woozles & Monotremes Oh My!

Pootie and critter relief time!

I will share critters.
Please share your critters!

jlms qkw's diary :: ::

Baby echnidnas are called "puggles" Isn't that just too cute?
This one is a juvenile, and has its nose buried looking for bugs. We were privileged to see it in the relative wild.

Lagomorphs are fun too! We had mini-lops as pets before the kids showed up. Bunnies are not actually rodents!

This guy was about 5 feet long. I think it's a goana. Reptiles and amphibians welcome too!

Did anyone feel like this when you woke up this morning?
I stayed up way too late and sipped slowly, yet too much, 3.5 glasses of white zin.

Willouby Wallaby! Which one is it? The other is my son ;-)

For your Australian animal food needs, please see:

And my favorite LOL pootie:

Absolutely Positively NO political talk please!

    My friend Neil had the coolest pit bull. Very sweet, very, very bright. Gorby was named that because she had a big blotch on her head. When people generalize about dog breeds it makes me mad. If a dog is abused it will behave badly. If it is loved and cared for it will be good. Of course not always the case with the rare animal with brain damage or something else. But most will respond to love and affection.
