Some of you will know of Elsie - this gorgeous girl to the left. She came to me on 7th January 2002 and I named her after a very special friend in Sydney, Elsie Quinn. Very sadly we lost Elsie Quinn last year, aged 93, we all miss her terribly. I'm very sorry to tell you that Kanga - Elsie died last week too, on Tuesday, 6th March. She had had a mystery illness, some days she was perky and looked normal but others she was not well. We are going to miss her too, she was a scallywag!
Both our Elsies are at peace now and are probably together. Kanga-Elsie has left behind her several sons and daughters.
Harry, Western Grey, has been out in the wild for a number of months now, so I have decided that I'd better take him off the current list of kangaroos who are available for sponsorship. We just have to hope he is happy and healthy out there. You will see that on the page Meet the Sponsoroo Kangaroos, I have added Ondi, a beautiful female Western Grey - website www.sponsoroo.com
So sad to hear about both Elsie's. Met Elsie Quinn just the once and what a lovely lady she was. Never met kanga Elsie but how sad that she died on my birthday. Did of course meet Harry down by the river when he took it upon himself to give me a grooming!Such A joy. Hope to be back in OZ next year and will certainly come and visit. Thank you for all the tireless hard work you do for these beautiful animals. You seen Pip recently? Big hugs. Philip.
