    I juat peeked at a search site for these pix. Different info. On a youtube site, yukon doit said that they only occur up north there. I picked on up on the road, Thought my daughter would like to taxiderm it but even picking up a dead one is illegal here. It was smaller than the reds around here but a little less grey than the pix. It's the only one I ever saw in the flesh.

    Maybe …I should have named it differently due to the pets NOT being our pets …. but pets we look after on a fairly regular basis .
    Not real sure what category it should come under
    if I tried to make it a seperate thread to our own pets
    These pets become ..ours on a part time basis but cost us $0000
    @Yvonne Smith
    Maybe @John Brunner or @Ken Anderson
    could advise if I continue on this thread or make one under housesit pets

    Same here. We are dog people and really miss having a little dog in the house, but I just don't feel that I am up to caring for a dog.

    The dog I posted a photo of is a Staffy :):)

    A Staffordshire bull terrier @Mary Stetler

    Here he is getting impatient waiting for his small serve of porridge to be served

    I really have a hard time choosing my favorite pet. I liked them all. And I have had a lot and a lot of species.
    The one that comes to mind the most is Emma. The softest tempermented dog ever. She was a little white fluffy American Eskimo crossed with a sheltie and considered everyone's aura in her interactions, even if she was afraid. We had to put her down two years ago
    Anyway, she stands out because I was coming in from the garage a few months ago and there she was by the washing machine--and then she wasn't.:eek:
    Just a gentle hello.
    Maybe I was HER favorite pet.;)

    He’s one of the sweetest pets we’ve ever taken care of , he’s old, and he’s moving right up neat the top of Australia next month so sadly this is the last time we will get to spend time with him as he will be more than 3.000 km away from South Aust, altho we’ve been invited to come up to Darwin it’s not my favourite place to visit , it’s the same temperature everyday of the year however…. they have very humid weather …and crocodiles

    This is my favorite time to be here. Spring. things are green, flowering and budding out. I have no crocodiles but some snakes, mostly non poisonous. But when you pull a tarp off the garden and 10 or fifteen go slithering away, it can make you jump.:eek:
    Sorry you are losing your buddy.:(
