Too Koala Cute

This sequence of photos have been circulating the email circuit, so hopefully I'm not doing the wrong copyright thingy by printing them on my blog. If I am I am very apologetic, but.......These are just too cute not to share.
And though these photos are cute....
The situation for our wild life is not......
During our sweltering heat waves the animals really have nowhere to cool down....
But this little one made its way into back yard of a family in the Adelaide hills, they provided it with some water to drink and cool down a bit. A drink wasn't enough for this little sweetie and decided a full plunge was in order :)

Sadly there have been quite a few koala deaths as they seek out water to cool down, especially in the Adelaide Hills. They have been climbing into backyard pools and then not able to get out again and drowning. Luckily this little fella had someone to help.

I received this via e-mail myself. Someone there has a Texas relative. Isn't he just so cute?!

What about the fires? I realize that you do not live in Victoria. It is a terrible situation with not only vegetation burning, but the loss of buildings, homes, and lives. Reports are that some of the fires are set on purpose. That happens here too...some people are such scumbags.

I pray that the loss of lives has not touched your friends or family. And that the fires are contained soon and no one else loses their life in this needless manner.
