Welcome to Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Its stinking hot way too soon so we’re not thankful about that. Don’t forget, Santa wears a bathing suit in Australia. Hee Hee!
We’re thankful to have helped a pair of Plover Birds a couple of days ago, who are sitting on eggs which are about to hatch. It took almost an hour, but we put up a rope fence to alert people to stay away from them until the eggs are hatched. Plover parents with babies are extremely vicious and fly in tandem, let jet pilots, with their wings spurs protruding forward, ready to impale anyone or anything threatening them, and they scream in anger very loud.

We’re always thankful for other fellow animal rescuers. Today we were called to an emergency after a large Kangaroo had been struck by a car and seriously injured (thankfully it was not one of our own Kangaroos.) We were on our way to the scene, but thankfully one of the Animal Ambulances happened to be driving past and stopped and euthanized the roo, which meant we could turn around and go home.

Vietnam loves crazy hair styles.
We love nature and can thankfully always find peace of mind in the garden; this photo captures a corner of our garden.

We are joining Brian’s Home in his Thankful Thursday blog hop (he has taken it over for us.)
Wishing you a great week and hope you’ll come back and visit us again. *waves paw* :=o)
The Plover Birds are neat. MOL & BOL Santa wears a swimsuit is sort of funny, but he could here too sometimes. It was very HOT and HUMID here yesterday. Yes, we know it is suppose to be winter here, apparently someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that.
Those birds sure are pretty! Hey, maybe my Sister Sascha needs a cut like that doggie instead of a lion cut. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
You sure do have a lot to be thankful for today. We are glad we’ve never met a plover bird since Marcus would head right over to meet it.
Poor roo. Glad he didn’t have to suffer very long.
Your comment on Santa brought back memories of the photo we saw yesterday of fat, fat Santa wearing a brief bathing suit or underpants – not sure which – walking down the street carrying his suit. Ugh!
I don’t think I want to see Santa in a bathing suit 🙂
I will be VERY careful if I encounter those Birds. Wow they sounds great parents – so protective!
That is the funniest haircut I’ve ever seen! Thanks for sharing!
