OH, BOY, did you see that article about koalas??? Well, actually it was on AOL, not the NYT, but what the heck…
Well, yet another news item that might interest you, but it’s also a bit sad. Mamma’s favourite photo of her mother is when her mama was in Australia and mamma’s papa took a picture of my nonna with a little koala bear on her shoulder. So darling. I’ll bet I could be friends with a fuzzy, soft koala, the color of rain clouds, no? I know I have some readers from Australia, so if you have any comment on this please leave it with this blog. It makes me so upset to think of the many species of animals that will not be here in just a few short years.
If you take a look at the snub-nosed monkey, you’ll see why it is upsetting that animals leave this planet. I would LOVE a snub-nosed monkey in this house and I’ll be we could get into lots of fun trouble! I think that’s an oxymoron, with emphasis on the last two syllables, haha.
Maybe I’ll do some sniffing around to see how some of these animals could be saved. Maybe I’ll create an organization that ferrets out (haha) info on why animals disappear. Maybe I’ll call my org the Cagey-B, haha!
But, seriously, folks, it is disturbing, and the sweet little koala bears deserve to be with us a long, long time.
Maybe I could pass with a little make-up…

And now, just for laughs, does anyone out there play golf?
Oh, I would fur sure want to help out if you open up an organization, Loulou. Mom & I are always saddened to hear about the decrease in numbers of animals in the world. Humans need to not take over everything, but realize that they need to share the planet and be kind stewards of it and the animals that also make it their home. Head nuzzles.
We hope that news story is not true. We’ve always liked the little koala bears.
Sorry, it’s true. Most news on respected news sites is true. Except maybe Fox….uh, oh.
OMG – well, Loulou, let’s hope these beautiful creatures will be around for at least as long as the planet (which Steven Hawking says won’t be around in 600 years!) – even the moose that looked like Bullwinkle who ran into a wall, is adorable. And the underwater walking thingy with the sweet smile! And the sweet little rat-looking creature who just wants to be friendly but lacks discernment. Just like all of us – we gotta choose carefully!! Mama wants a flatnose monkey TOO – but I told her it would probably never come down from the chandeliers and that calmed enthusiasm. But HOW ADORABLE – all out animal kingdom creatures. Except maybe snakes…..
Yes, well, snakes. But even they can be nice…unless they are MEASURING YOU!!!
You don’t look like a koala, not even a little bit. Yes, they are cute in their own way, but so are you in yours.
It is such a shame some species are disappearing. 🙁
If I wanted to look like anyone, it would be MARCUS, haha.
Koalas are, in my opinion, the cutest of all the animals – they are very gentle – and are the most cuddly. As they are nocturnal they do love to curl up in you arms – any accidental damage by the nails are if they are startled or think your about to drop them. Even more cuddly to look at in person!. Of course, a s wild animal, they do tend to defecate at any time – so be aware!!
Oh, Grandma Ros, you are so smart to know about koalas. But you spent time in Australia, right? We’ll have to talk about that last part, haha…..
Oh my Darling lou lou and Suzi – I am an Aussie – true blue, Mate! I haven’t quite made it to ‘ .. back of the black stump ..’ yet, but given time ..
OH, Grandma Ros, I forgot that you are a REAL Aussie!!! Mama loves Australians and wants to find papa a buffalo hat with a wide brim to keep the sun off. They are on the net right now looking for one with a low crown. They stopped a couple on the street from Australia and offered to buy the guy’s hat, just kidding, but he said, Let’s talk (also just kidding). Nice couple. Australians are so out-going.
One other thing about koalas – as most people know, they eat eucalyptus leaves – but, they need 40 different varieties of that tree to stay healthy!
Wow, maybe they should move to California!!!
We have always admired koala bears, although we have never seen one in person. But it is sad to think we may never get to see one, even if Mommy finds a way to visit Australia.
Maybe at a zoo? But mama doesn’t like zoos that much any longer. So sad to see animals kept in zoos unless it’s a really NICE one that has rescued animals and treats them well.
Mom thinks Koalas should be around for very long times…
Me, I would loves to play golf with you! Especially since it requires a ball or too.
