Speaking of fur babies how are yours doing?

It is so nice to see the simple happiness of animals! I see this in my kids also. It is a good reminder to me that regardless of awful world events, it is still in human and animal nature to be happy, and that is beautiful to me!

@Rouge H
Thank you so much, Rouge H. I was hoping you'd notice that I adopted a koala, too. Was Anwen released to the forest or is she still under medical care? If she was released, did you get another koala in her place?

I am loving all these animal pictures.

@Madam Bijoux, I'm really pleased that you like all the animal pictures. Evidently Aussies refer to their land or country as "Oz." There's a fair amount of truth in that in a place where "teddy bears" climb to the treetops.

@Rouge H I got a folder by email from the Australian Koala Foundation the other day with the title, "Cute Koalas Inside!" They know how to market themselves!

I am happy to do it and glad you guys like them.

Speaking of fur babies how are yours doing?

Emma and Mia are doing great, but my 14 year old, Dolly, is slowing down. She has a neurological issue that her neurologist hasn't been able to pin down, and I won't put her under for another MRI. As long as she still wants to cuddle and is eating and drinking with gusto, I'm happy to have every possible moment with her. She's loving this whole "mommy has to stay home" thing!

How are your babies doing? Haven't seen a picture of that precious puppy in a while. Try-color, right?

I like round things. The koalas are rounded in such an appealing cuddlely (sp?), with their cute little tushies and large fluffy ears

It drives me wild to see those rounded furry bodies and big fluffy ears. I just want to reach my hands out and pet them and talk to them. If we ever make it to Australia we're going to visit one koala site after another and get a picture at each one. (That's the plan).

My two young babies are quite mischievous to say the least❤️ My oldest 12yr old we found out has a heart murmur..Other than that she’s doing really well says the cardiologist. I agree as long as they are happy, eating and loving, I see no reason to put them through testing that further stresses them.

Anwen was released back into the wild and is being monitored. As of now she’s thriving and I do hope she finds true love and lives happily ever after with babies and lots of love. I wasn’t able to adopt another Koala as they didn’t have any others,howeve, I do contribute to the monitoring and care when needed for the hospital in general.[/QUOTE]

 

[Cavalier Girl]

Rouge H, those faces! Nothing quite like puppies. Well, except oldies.

Not to have murmur until 12 is wonderful! Did your cardiologist give it a grade, and is she on any medication?

Give them all snuggles for me!

I don't know what this white animal is -- some kind of camel, a llama?

Here's a couple of general questions I'd like to pose to the group:
1. Do you guys have any plans for vacation later this year or next? I came across some Australia travel info and b/c of Covid -- which they are apparently doing a very good job with limiting the spread -- you can only enter the country if you're Australian. And once you do return you have 14 days quarantine at some place designated by the government, I don't think it's home, maybe some kind of hotel.
2. If in the U.S., have you been experiencing delays with U.S. postal mail? I thought the Covid delays had begun to taper off yet I've had two or three packages arrive very close to coming to me but then stall out at some nearby postal conduit. Just sit. For days. I mean, there are many many worse problems than mail delays. With that said, is mail arriving with delays? I had a package from the west coast -- a scarf, naturally -- make it as far as Sacramento and then disappear for 10 days or more. I got an USPS investigation or tracing process started but no word came. Finally, out of the blue the scarf came and 2-3 days later USPS told me the scarf had just been delivered.
I'm thinking of getting stuff delivered by UPS or FedEx but it might be a hassle for sellers on ebay or etsy. Department store deliveries using those companies seem to come right on time. Now, this is the only period I've ever had difficulty getting mail so I do have to put the problem in perspective.

Beautiful dogs!

Eagle, FedEx and others have the same problems. FedEx sent me a notice that they didn't even try to deliver a package the other day and maybe it will come Tuesday. I get more delay messages each week.
