There were 24 baskets and travel boxes stacked in my lounge bedroom and hallway..every cage full of ringy's brushy's all literally dying of thirst and heat exhaustion...a little one that had come in with bitumen stuck to his paws and chin nestled in my shirt covered in goo and blue bandage finally gvies in and dies..I sit back and overwhelmed, just cry......then the phone rings again...back out we go...damn no air con in the car...I know we cant save them all but we at least have to tr...

On this, Christmas Eve 2011, close to midnight, I sit here surrounded by care, snuggled up in pj's awaiting 'you know who' and that special time when exhausted mummys can finally go to bed. Here about me there is a full circle of life all scratching to be let in or out, possums frogs, dogs, cats, mozzies and bugs and all the moths. Its all so, well...ecological!

Tonight, we took the beagles and willow off to the dog beach for a fly ball and swim..a brilliant sunset hit...

Yesterday we returned our little brood to the wild they belong to...

It was a fantastic day and we enjoyed watching them go. Last seen they were bobbing in and out of the water exploring their permenant home...they loved it..and it was amazing to watch Fonzi take off from the water ( vid 2) and flock with the pacific blacks along the waters edge.

We took some video, poor quality though sorry..its the best we could do and you may want to turn your volume down as the volume on my cameras was full...

What  a difference a week makes. The devestation in QLD and NE Vic..not to mention NSW has left us all reeling.
Wildlife of Werribee, run by my good friend Dawn Stanford is currently running an appeal for donations to be sent to wildlife carers in effected flood areas. With a donated truck service and pallets etc..its up to us to fill them and get these good where they are needed most.


Here Dawn takes receipt of the first of what I hope will be many donations from us, a cage filled of medical s...
