The time has come to say goodbye.

How sad and yet wonderful for you to be able to do this for the roos. You truly have a gift Hope to be able to take care of these lovely creatures and set them free. Hope all goes well for your op and you will be back here with us all again soon.

We will miss you being here at myLot, but know how important of a mission you are setting out on. Ahh, that must be difficult. But it is also a wonderful thing that you have done in saving their lives. Bill, Sally, and Kanga will always be in your heart and know that they will always know that humans can be compassionate healers. Bless you and have a safe trip.

I'm sorry you have to turn your babies loose. You are doing the right thing, though. Keep strong and be safe on your trip. ...and thank you for looking out for God's creatures.

How sad. I feel for you and I'm sure they will miss you just as much. I wish them a long and safe life. Its so nice that you take care of them until they are big enough to be turned lose. Do you resue them as baby's or what. How do you get them. Are you a"Ranger" or what ever its called in your country. I'd be interested to know if you have time. Probably when you come back. Take care and don't cry to much they"l be happier with their own kind even though they know you as papa. All children grow up and need to be on their own.. Tammy

It's a wonderful thing you're doing :) I think it's wonderful when people take the time to help baby native animals grow up to be able to go back to the wild where they belong. I have thought about doing it myself but i simply don't have the room or skills needed. I probably wouldn't have the time either - with a baby here - maybe i'll do it one day coz we'd like to move to a bigger property - a few acres at least :) The i'll at least feel like i'm doing something to help the native animals! Hats off to you for doing such a wonderful job :)

How great! Good luck with everything involved in releasing them! I hope it all goes well, and that they are happy and healthy in their new homes!

Wow, it has to be an emotional time for you. They become you babies and then you have to let them go. I do know its for their own good. You are doing something truly amazing, and thats on top of all the other stuff you have to deal with. Take care Hope, I pray that Our god will Bless you, take care of you and be with you. I know you have been having a tough time lately. Keep you chin up, things will get better for you. Also good luck with your surgery.

I see hope again you are going off to say goodbyes. I love this about you. Can you tellme where do you live. I am so proud to know you and know that my friend works for rehabilitating the animals of the wild. I live in the city so have never experienced this escept nursing a bird now and then but I do love to hear what you are doing. Hats off to youfior a great job done.

It is wonderful that they can be saved hope .... and released back into the wild ... but I do wish they would stay off the highways all the same. Problem is that they jump out of nowhere and when I am hauling a 50 tonne load on the back of a couple of trailers, doing 100kph there is nowhere to go to miss them. You will know all that happens .... so I won't go into all the gory details here .... just wish there was somewhere they could be kept so they are not on the highways. Bright truck lights blind them too and this is often when they jump out .... car lights do the same too and more than once a couple of roos have been hit by cars or trucks travelling in convoy. Good luck to them and let's be positive in that after all the care you have given them ... that they do stay away from the highways of our country.

OMG how great of you, there is not enough of your kind heartedness around. I take my hat off to you. These poor animals rely on people like you.

My heart swelled and my eyes filled with tears as I read this post. What a wonderful wonderful thing you are doing for these animals. I've never spoken to anyone who reared kangaroos before and I think for you to rear them and then release them into their natural habitat is such a precious gift for them. I wish you well in releasing them tomorrow.

how sad that you are going..when someone goes it relly hurts a ton.I don't know you yet it feels like leaving anything is not a good moment for anyone.so best of luck from me.

i've seen kangaroos from the pics my bf took during the trip to aus.they are soo lovely!but one fact i dont understand is aussie eat kangaroo meat.that souns just like chinese eat dogs,which is so cruel to me.so compared to some other australian ppl,i think you are very kind setting ur kanga free.but it would be sad isnt it?i think i would cry if i were you:P

I like Kangaroos very much and they are very cute to see.Kangaroos is more famous in these countries like Australia,canada etc.I usually watch in TV more kangaroos and i love very much.It jumps very high feet and from place to place.Every year i visit to different places to see kangaroos.

As i not going to be here for a week it`s time for me to release three more of the kangaroos that i have been rearing for the past fourteen months .It will be a sad time but my ultimate goal is to set them free as it was intended in the begining. So tomorrow morning at eight we will catch them and sedate them fot the 1 1/2 hr trip to their new home in thwe wild .It is a very stressful time for both them and me as their carer but i have done this so many times before and it`s such a good feeling to see them regain their composure and slowly wander off.The last three we release all decided the first thing they wanted to do was go for a swim in the dam .We were so apprehensive as they had never seen so much water in their short life but to our amazement they all swan across the dam and got out the other side without and problems just goes to show you that there are some inbuilt things in eact animal that they know for themselves . So it`a good bye to Bill, Kanga and Sally tomorrow it`s been a lovely time knowing you .

Wow...that is a great thing you are doing. It must be very rewarding. I do feel your pain though...letting go of any animal is heartbreaking...especially after raising them. I think that you are doing the right thing...and you should take solice in that....

I know it's sad to see them go but,also heart-warming to see them in their natural habitat.I wish Bill, Kanga and Sally a safe trip and a happy life in the wild.Hugs to you my friend as I know you will be sad to see them go.

you take care hope,I know how it feels to help wild animals and birds,My personnel best was a wild duck that had it's wing broken by hunters,I ended up taking it home,then to the vets to have the wing fixed,then let it live in my back yard for a year before it was able to leave on it's own,then it kept comming back every year to our yard as it new it was safe and with food. I will be looking for your return after your op. Blessed be.

Really, I think it would be very hard for me to let them free if I'm the one who care them for almost over a year. Glad to know that there are people like you here in mylot, I only see people who really care for animals in tv like national geographic. Well good luck for tomorrow and hope that you will have this victory again after a year and let another animals be free in the world of jungle.

This is a great post. I think what you're doing for these animals is a wonderful thing. I can understand how it would make you sad to see them go and make you happy at the same time to see how healthy and strong these animals have becomed while in your care.
