Kangaroos

My daughter's mother-in-law bought some paint that wasn't quite the right color, but she couldn't return it because one of the roos ate her receipt so she can't take it back. Let me explain. My younger daughter lives in Australia. She and her husband and his parents are part of a wildlife rescue program. So both households have the pitter patter of little orphaned kangaroo feet. Baby roos are too little to live outside without a mother roo.

So----much like the dog ate my homework story, roos really eat paper. My daughter said roos really LOVE paper, and they know they aren't supposed to eat it, so when they see you coming they suck it up like noodles and poof it's gone! So went the receipt.

Now that's funny!!

Baby Oan in his bassinet
Baby Russ in his basket with kitties. The grass is for him to munch on.
Russ and Iggy
Russ is growing up. When he is old enough and the weather is warm he can live in the pasture with the other adult roos.
