Good morning, all!
Enjoy your weekend. For some of us that means a break from work, others keep on working, and for some it's just another day.
Whatever you're doing, make time to be thankful for how far you've come. Practise Gratitude, and Self-Compassion.

Hello @Shaz51 you've been a home for many animal spirits each with their own character I imagine. I had a study break and went to another local lookout around lunch.

Very nice @Blackbird11
I have been to Tasmania twice
All the animals I had were either strays, inherited, rescued
The step children found the peachface parrot in the sandpit, she could not even bite them so we looked after her xx

Have you had rain today @Blackbird11 ?
In response to: Re: Good morning!
Blackbird11Senior Contributor
Yes, it's been raining all day nearly @Shaz51
I don't mind it, it creates nice smells and rejuvenates life around us.

Good morning @JRMum @Shaz51 @Blackbird11
@JRMum Your pups sound like an absolute delight 😁 JR's have a wonderful temperament and can have such funny personalities 💚 we have a lovely one that comes to visit occasionally when she gets out of her yard 😂 or sometimes she comes home with Dolly when she Houdini's from our yard haha
@Shaz51 what a wonderful array of adoptions and rescues you've mentioned, how lucky are those animals to have found your caring nature ❤️
@Blackbird11 I must say, I'm pretty envious of your experience of living in Penguin, actually Tazzy in general! To me, Tazzy is one of the most beautiful places in the world, your photo totally backs up my claim!
Bear is our 10yo Kelpie x collie and Dolly is our 3yo Kelpie x coolie.
We all live in rural, south west NSW 😀 where at the moment, the weather can't make up its mind whether it wants to be hot or cold!
