I'm running with this Koala thing...

UPDATE from Koala Town

Our last post was focused on the Australia wildfires and now we have an update on our little Koala friend. It turns out she has a name; Sam. She suffered scorched paws from the fires but otherwise is in good health. Scorched Paws...damn that's a great name for a band!

So what did Sam get out of this besides some burned up paws and painkillers (she's off the pills now)? How about a frigging boyfriend?! Damn right! A little dude named Bob who's also in the rescue shelter with a case of schorched paws. Raymond, a caretaker at the Mountain Ash Wildlife Center where the koala's are being taken care of said; "Bob is her protector — as soon as she is moved, he's on the move, too. It really looks like he's making sure she's OK".

...aint that sweet.

Fire Down Below

Australia is having the worst wildfires they have ever had. My wife told me the other day that Australia is F'D up! I looked at some pictures today and felt awful. 181 people have died so far. What really kills me about the fires are all of the displaced and injured animals. As you know, Baby Arms is a very animal friendly site. Luckily we have people like this firefighter to help.




Look at that! He's sharing his water with an injured Koala! The Koala has his little mit on the firefighters. This is the greatest photo I have ever seen. It gives me hope in humanity.
