You two have been through so much and it seems to continue on. I hope that all of this will eventually lead to a happy resolution. <br /><br />I think going to visit the Kangaroos was a wonderful idea, especially since they have Joeys which are reminders to us that life does go on. I had the privilege of holding a Joey once and he was the cutest little guy ever. I am not in favor of captivity, but as a rehaber I know that sometimes that is the only quality of life that an injured animal can be afforded ... back in the wild they wouldn't survive ... so it was wonderful to see your Kangaroos roaming leisurely and free. I sincerely hope this week is going well for both you and the SP (and the SP's sister). You are in my thoughts ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-82156740594249924042013-07-10T18:33:06.010+10:002013-07-10T18:33:06.010+10:00Dear EC, I hope all went well with the surgery and...Dear EC, I hope all went well with the surgery and that recovery is smooth and undistressing. <br />Love your photos, and the kangaroos are endlessly interesting.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-11877955131459672302013-07-10T12:22:32.589+10:002013-07-10T12:22:32.589+10:00Andrew Maclaren-Scott: Kangaroos are almost alway...Andrew Maclaren-Scott: Kangaroos are almost always very gentle.
