Graduation Day: from Puggle School to Big School

[den]

Today I handed Rexie over to her new carer. She will be housed in a much larger cage now, one 3feet wide x 3 feet high x 10 feet long. The floor is a mix of sand, potting mix and wood chips about 6" deep. Rexie will spend her days Outside, but for a week she'll spend nights Inside. Soon she'll be outside all the time learning secret Echidna business, such as digging, hiding, and termite foraging. By mid September she will be ready to go bush.

My bathroom feels empty without the cage in the corner and there is a vacant place in the freezer where her food used to be.

The Rampaging Puggle has left the building.

Awww. Well, while I'll miss the puggle updates (although not nearly as much as I'd guess you'll miss the puggle!) you oughta be proud of a job well done. Having read that echidnas can live up to 40 (is this right?) I'm sure Rexie will be out rampaging through the bush for a long time. Go, Rexie!

Byebye Rexie!
Hope she hasn't been left with a complex which makes her think she's a Dog or a Human.

Good on ya, mate!

Weyrd.....I mean weird echidnas huh? You did a good job!:)

Hopefully Scruffy and Polly won't miss the nottadog to much. And Scruffy can no rest easy, assured his good-oh's aren't endangered.

Just think, soon she'll be busy with a puggle of her own:D.

Ya did good!

Now Rexie when Rexie is out in the wilderness at some point she will be doing something bad and will have a fleeting BAD DOG moment. Then she will realize she's free and keep doing it! :)
