Empty Nest? Fill it with animals...

One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months.

We moved the sheep today, a successful manoeuvre involving a bucket of "stock nuts" (try asking for them at the store without smirking) and some audible cajoling.  The three little blankets on legs then went about happily mowing the grass in the orchard for a few hours before being encouraged back to their regular pasture.

No mower required. (✓)

Speaking of blankets, Oskar finds it quite necessary to cover himself when sleeping - he's rather taken with his new Scottish-themed spread.

Zzzzzz

The other dog is in disgrace so I won't mention her name, but suffice it to say that another nosy wallaby is now cruising the other side of the life/death abyss after last night's canine capers.

That's three down since we arrived in Tasmania and a few million to go....stay out of the dog yard you mad macropods!
