Ditto
any pics please Orlanth?

Hell yes we need pics! lets see who out there has any rescued animal pics? cuter the better :-)

Smudgekin Oddsocks:

Not a rescue of a wild animal, but in the sense that she was found by a friend one wet and windy wintery night. Rather than send her to a cat shelter I volunteered to look after her till we could find the owners.

Nearly 4 years later...

Oh chibi, you came and you found me a pussy! that's awesome good Karma for you my friend! but I have more news! I'm not sure but I think animals must like me rescuing them! last wed night was the night the world met DuckaDucka! and tonight I just rescued a swallow that was stuck in the accomodation blocks flying around! took me nearly 45 minutes to actually grab him (as I can't fly it was difficult) but he's safe now, he was cute also and yes i took a pic as usual, maybe I should start an album?....

we wanna see!
Pics and album sounds good!

you are a superhero
sounds like a job for Animal Rescue Man!

took 5 mins to catch the swallow but 40 mins to put on the spandex
Hang on, if you are a spandex clad superhero...
YOU CAN FLY!

Nope no spandex for me, but my work uniform makes me look like a Turkish perfume salesman! I shall post a pic on this thread maybe sunday? he was cool but not as cool as DuckaDucka, I can't help it I just have to try and help any animals I can, I have raised a baby brush tailed possum from a tiny little babe until I released her into the wild, she was awesome! like a dog, so smart and very affectionate, and I also reared a Bennets wallaby from a joey we had him for a while but he suffered from shock one night and didn't make it I don't know why it's just you and me so far posting cute animal pics Chibi, maybe Dakkaites are too tough to admit they're softies?

I stay away from ducklings.

When I was a kid I had to walk a long way to the bus stop to go to school (rural town), and I would often encounter ducks.

When they had ducklings, I was invariably assaulted by one of the adult creatures that would run and fly headlong at me, snapping its beak and making horrible noises. It was harmless, but not the most comfortable situation to be in.

I recall when I was learning how to drive and I was in a 100kph zone, stuck to my learner's limit of 80kph. This always resulted in a chain of other cars tailgating me. One day, with a 4x4 up my arse and on my way down a hill, Mother Duck and at least a half dozen of the kids decided to cross the road.



That's why I stay away from ducklings. And they'd better stay the hell away from me too.

Last time i tried to fly I was very intoxicated...and that was over 9 years ago!

Oh my arctik, that's horrible! that would have been awful for you! I was driving some guests to our other property and the same thing happened to me! except I put on the brakes and a guest who wasn't wearing his seat belt went flying throught he van and ended up in the front seat!....but the ducklings were fine!

oh dear...
the effects of old demon alcohol and how it addles the brain!

That is a good track record.

like kudos but even better!

Yes thought you meant Kudos, but then thought maybe it's some strange motherland word? yep last time i thought I could fly due to demon drink was my 21st birthday! launched off a nissan skyline into a bush and then onto my own car! not a pretty sight in the morning considering I was home in bed with a garbage bag over my head before 11:30pm! and since that night i've never been drunk! I prefer to be in control of my body incase I need to chuck a steve Irwin and rescue any animals or anything!

I agree. Safety first!

Well it appears it's also just as dangerous to rescue animals as it is to jump off a car drunk trying to fly! obviously both very similar things with very real consequences! one you'll hurt yourself, the other you'll keep a little creature alive....hang on,....they're so not like each other at all, they're different, this is begining to sound like a sesame street moment.....one of these things .....is completely ridiculous!
