Jellyma, you did a wonderful job with that story! What a sweet little creature Boomer is. I'm glad he finally figured out what he is. I hope he comes back to visit often.<BR/>I adore Gerald Durrell's books, especially "My Family and other Animals". It's one of my favourites too. <BR/>Keep posting the animal stories Jelly. We love them...and anything you write for that matter :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-69604202873356445452007-06-10T21:36:00.000+10:002007-06-10T21:36:00.000+10:00That's a great story to tell.

But you're right, they're not pets, they're wildlife and that's where they need to be...in the wild.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for your comment on Oscar's demise, Jelly.

I know wildlife carers always say their ultimate goal is get the animals back in the wild, but it would kill me to look after a little baby animal and then send it off into the big bad world - I guess that is how human parents feel too!freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689667027805519320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-17376337612541472802007-06-06T04:34:00.000+10:002007-06-06T04:34:00.000+10:00I love your momma, Jelly.It is a sincere wish that...I love your momma, Jelly.<BR/><BR/>It is a sincere wish that one day the three of us will sit down for tea, and gaze upon each others faces.<BR/><BR/>Hugs Jelly.<BR/><BR/>And hugs to you too, Jellyma.<BR/><BR/>xoRedneck Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947243296264284961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-23727807814930148292007-06-06T03:49:00.000+10:002007-06-06T03:49:00.000+10:00This is a precious story.

The ending was perfect...Boomer found his rightful place with his own, but remembered his foster mom too. Now they can both be a little happier.<BR/>Just coincidently my middle child and my namesake was nicknamed Boomer by a gym teacher when he was in elementary school and it stuck all through his school years. It had to do with how far he could kick a soccer ball.<BR/>relrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030572981830789370noreply@blogger.com
