It must be spring

One of the vets rang me at work to say they had a baby bat. What they had was a fully grown, and pissed off, little forest bat. He's a juvenile pup from last year, and is still on his provisional flyer's licence - one step up from L plates, but not much of a step. I don't know what's wrong with him. There is nothing physical that I can find, but something must be wrong; you don't find them on the ground for no reason. I was amused to see the Vet's nurse had filled out an animal report form listing me as the owner and the bat's name as "Freddy."




I picked up this season's first baby blue tongue. I let him go in my yard to wreak havoc on the molluscs.

Are you already up to F this year? When do you restart?

I restart when I hit Z, but the vets named him for me.

Australia doesn't have dangerous animals like that.

Oh really?

I thought those koala bears were supposed to be rather nasty.xD

Nasty like angry drunks with sharp claws.

koalas aren't bears.

And I meant dangerous creatures, like venomous lizards. We don't have them.
