Getting the Jump on Things

SkippyI'D toyed with adopting my black poodle today, but adopted the kangaroo I got for Valentines Day instead.

After all, it is is the first day of spring.

:-)

(g,d, and rlh, as we used to say)

I was going to name her "Clancy" after Liza Goddard's character on Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (the ultimate Baby Boomer's Australian association)—since my koala is named "Rafferty" it would have continued the Irish name theme. But I copped out and went straight to the source. How could I resist naming her "Skippy"?

Right now she's sitting next to Schuyler's cage and Schuyler is happily whistling at her.
