I'm back to thinking it's cute again because I read a follow-up story here.
Turns out "Sam", as she has been named, is recovering quite nicely and has a boyfriend (another injured-in-a-horrific-wildfire koala named "Bob")! Also, the firefighter from the picture had a neat quote:
"You can see how she stops and moves forward and looks at me. It was like a look saying, 'I can't run, I'm weak and sore, put me out of my misery' ...
"I yelled out for some water and I sat down with her and tipped the water up. It was in my hand and she reached for the bottle, then put her right claw into my left hand which was cold so it must have given her some pain relief and she just left it there. It was just amazing."
See? Awwww... well, until you read that 181 people are confirmed dead, 50 people are still missing, and the cost of rebuilding is estimated at $1.3B. Yeah right... in THIS economy?

I pretty much just think it looks like a cartoon version of a rat. OK, so suppose I really did want to start my own blog....(I kind of started one accidently), I can't figure out how to post my brilliantly funny observations. So, obviously I'm not the most computer literate person you will ever know. I am an amusingly,ever so slightly sarcastic, insightful mother of two, grandmother of one of the cutest babies ever, that thinks the rest of you are dying to read my thoughts. Wow...got a little carried away, so sorry! Can you help me post? Thanks!!
Well, two things:
1. I don't have 45 minutes for your dial up connection to cycle.
2. I don't have 45 minutes for you to take notes.
Other than those two items, I'd be HAPPY to help you with your blog! ;)
Not nice! I'm getting older by the minute, shouldn't you be showing mucho respect and love for me?
