Re: [MBZ] OT: Hendrick's deadly dog?

2013-04-05 Thread Dan Penoff
The guy I worked with in Brisbane had a sister in law who ran a rescue and 
rehab facility for koalas at their sheep station. We flew out there a couple of 
times when I visited and spent weekends with them.

While these things look all nice and cuddly, they can be rather nasty and have 
very sharp claws. They are amazingly dense in that they are very, very heavy. 
You pick one up expecting it to be fairly light and in the process you wrench 
your back.

The gummint-funded Propaganda Broadcasting System had a show a few weeks 
back about koalas (kwallas like walla) and how they were being 
squeezed out of their habitats by developments, and also that they were 
prone to some STD that was killing them.  Go figure.

2013-04-05 Thread Dan Penoff
As I understood it, many of the koalas she had were either found injured or 
were displaced when land was cleared for new construction.

Most of the animals she got were returned to the wild. There was just a small 
number of them that she kept permanently due to their injuries or that they 
were too socialized to turn loose and survive.

They didn't smell all that great either.

 On a similar wave length, my dog seems dense - and I don't mean stupid 
- he is quite a smart little fellow.
He is a Bichon Frise and that is probably why. He has a fair amount of 
fur despite the fact that we have him groomed often. I am amazed when I 
pick him up, at how heavy and solid he feels.
He is only the size of a good sized cat and weighs about 15 pounds but 
he is solid.
He is 10 years old this July and spends most of his time laying on our 
bed - I joke that his job is to hold the bed down all day - but he is 
quite muscular.
