Cuckaboros squawking... still Tasmania

Waiting at the bus stop up on the mountain in Fern Tree, overlooking Hobart, there were these honking birds that I never really saw, but was told they were probably cuckaboros. One of the major reminders I was in a far away place, as I'd never heard a cuckaboro until this...

Kangaroo video! Including a BABY kangaroo. So Cute!

Tasmanian devils at feeding time

Devils eating, and the park ranger talking about the gum disease that could very well wipe out the species. I will find an article about the problem and post a link.  The disease that is killing them is some sort of gum cancer that is contagious amongst their species. Devils both in AND out of captivity suffer from it and scientists are having a difficult time explaining it much less combatting it.


Tassie Devil video - enjoy!

Tasmanian Devils...

Not all Tassie Devils are this kissable and friendly... This is my friend Shama smooching a devil :-)

They are really incredibly unique animals.  That you would not want as a pet.


Wow do they ever make some horrible noises!

Oh the baby devils, tho... they are SO CUTE!

ginger kitties!!!

I called this ginger boy "Charlie". He was my furry friend when I was going thru my divorce and didn't have Henry & Daphne with me. Charlie lived in my neighborhood in Swindon, England, and he LOVED it when I would hang out laundry. He would come running from where ever he was and would roll around on the ground waiting for pets! 

Tom & his fluffy ginger kitty, Fishsticks. The Fish likes himself a good snuggle sometimes.
And sometimes, well, sometimes he might rip your face off when you least expect it! 
But all in all, he IS a very good boy!

fun pix of Daphne

Daphne is a sweet sweet girl who I have a lot of cute photos of...

When she was a baby she used to love to cuddle with her duckie
She likes fishes...
She can do a few tricks...

And she plays nicely with other kitties

cute pix of Henwy

Henry loves F-U-D

He especially loves SPICY CHICKEN. Here he is waiting for some General Tso's Chicken...

However, he also loves GREEN CURRY CHICKEN, and he gets VERY excited when we heat up leftovers!!!  Mmm it smells SO GOOD.

After he eats his spicy chicken, he likes a good nap :-)

He also enjoys a nice drink of water out of the sink!
This picture (amazingly enough) does not have anything to do with food, but it was very exciting one day when this squirrel jumped up on the window ledge of the house we used to live in!
