I live in Australia, so it's not uncommon to find a myriad of native animals living in your backyard.  Today, I saved a small bilby from being captured by my rascally cat and eaten. He has duelly been named Mr Bilbo Baggins, for, prior to his cat attack, he did live in a hole in the ground. He doesn't know it yet, but mister Baggins is about to go on a most unexpected journey indeed. We are taking him to the lonely mountain, a nearby mountain that is covered in wildlife, where hopefully he'll be able to make a new and safer home, away from the prying eyes and sharp claws of cats.
I like animals, almost as I like art.  Only with art, I don't have to worry about animal droppings and feeding.  I hope every one is having a splendid start to the new year, I know I am.
