This was taken in our shared house, in the first week of school. You can tell this because I look way too excited to be studying anatomy. Clearly, I was still in my (unfortunately shortlived) "I'm in vet school! Everything is cool and new and exciting and not stressful at all!" stage. Ah, distant memories.
Holding hands with a grey kangaroo at Caversham Wildlife Park, during a free day trip for international students. The photo is a little dark, but if you look closely, you can see a couple of goofy looking diprotodont joey feet sticking out of mum's pouch in the top left. The toes on their powerful hind limbs give the appearance that roos are perpetually flipping someone the bird- hilarious!
This is Chili the kelpie, AKA Neighbor-Dog from our old place. She is a young, neglected yard dog and I'm pretty sure this was the first time she'd ever been in a bed. She loved clicker training and I had a quasi-joking discussion with Iain about asking the neighbor if they would let her go to a better home (*cough* ours). I still miss her.
Our first wild grey kangaroos out near Byford (where the dogs were quarantined). These beautiful creatures were hanging out in the shade during one mercilessly hot day.
My favorite smell in the entire world...frangipani. I am still looking for a perfume that catches the smell perfectly, but have had no luck thus far. Walking down the street and catching a whiff of these delicate little blooms makes my entire day!
Sunset in the suburbs. Need I say more?
Outside at our new place! As you can see, the dogs live an existence fraught with toil and suffering. They now prefer to lie directly in the sand (to the right in this photo), and I'm pretty sure it's because they take pleasure in watching us sweep the floors multiple times a day after they track a beach's worth inside with them after their snoozes. In all seriousness, they love it here.
Thanks for looking!
