Bad dog Pepper

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Nov 22

Pepper is an elderly short-haired springer spaniel but being elderly doesn’t stop her getting into trouble. And she has blotted her copybook twice today (which means she’s been bad twice). Firstly, we had a friend call in for...

We caught the skink

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep 19

I wrote about the skink (lizard) that Vince thought he’d seen go under the fridge. Although we moved the fridge we weren’t able to find him. This afternoon I walked into the lounge and saw him on the floor. I was able to place a...

So where we live we get a lot of wild life and see it often. Some times we can’t get a picture of our animals friends. But today my oldest and youngest found a baby blue tailed skink on our front steps. They came to get me to...

We got home from my sister’s a few hours ago. We had a combined garage (yard) sale which went off very well and we were happy with the result. When we got home I went out the laundry door to water my azalea and look at my poor...

I Just Saved A Life

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Mar 17

I just saved a life. I was sweeping the side verandah as the leaves have been blowing in and we have guests arriving tomorrow. I glanced in a bin that is half-full of potting mix and saw a young skink. We see a lot of these around...

More to the story

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Nov 16

I caught more than I bargained on

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Nov 16

I've had a cat-trap in the garden trying to catch a feral cat. You might have read my post about it. We haven't had any luck although the trap was set off one morning. Usually I set it just before dusk and pick up the mince next...
