OSUT 261: Will the King be neutered?? Only Expat knows for sure

[GregD]

The king is looking pretty relaxed with his donut on. He is snoozing on the couch.

That is very nice !

Vet just called. Recommend blood tests before the surgery. Estimate for the day $838. That is just nuts… but what are you going to do…

Critters are expensive!

 

[GregD]

He is worth it !

You're not wrong! Funnel web and white tip spiders, tiger snakes, sharks, saltwater crocs...

The little blue ring octopus or whatever it is

When I first got to the house of the girl I was visiting, one of these was on one of the palm trees in her front yard. She said it was just a juvenile and that they get much bigger. Huntsman spider. Not deadly but still damn scary!

Longest flight I have been on was from O'hare to Rome.


Would love to go to Australia.

Nope. Pass.

Nope. Pass.

The one I saw was about 4" in diameter. She said her son found one in their shower (while he was showering) that was twice that size only a week or two before I got there. Needless to say, I inspected the shower every time before I set foot in it!

Don't discount the fact that some of the most aggressive dino-birds live there.

I got too close to a fence (I was across the line) at the St. Louis zoo once taking pics of cute little, turkey size emu chicks and a (gentle, my A55!) emu grabbed my camera strap in its beak and lifted me off the ground by my neck.
I was about 210lbs back then with about forty more of photo gear in a backpack.
My feet were off the ground and he was pulling me over the fence!

I was "saving my photography equipment" mostly, but until I thumbed it hard in the eye, I too was a subject.

Looks like the guy on the bridge is finally getting help?

Sure made for a backup though.

Fortunately, I did not have to go that way, but comment about it was all over WIBC while I was driving.

I hope this does not continue to happen.
