baby
Babies come in all shapes and sizes.
A baby elephant tips the scales at
around 200 pounds or 90 kilograms
and is around 3 feet tall/0.91 metres.
A newborn giraffe weighs
around 220 pounds or 99 kilograms and
stands about 6 feet tall/1.82 metres.
the average weight of a human baby is
around 7.5 pounds/3.5 kilograms and is
about 50 centimetres/18 inches long
It took nearly twenty years for
these babies to reach an
elephant’s birth weight

cranky
I have posted these images previously…
It is Candi’s attitude…
…in all images, which pushed Taji
past playfulness last October.
Taji became cranky and told Candi where to go.
Strangely Candi, at half Taji’s strength and weight
decided to stand up to Taji,
as all kelpies have done with
all Labradors we have owned.
Although they both drew some blood,
Candi came off second best.
Taji sat on her, literally, at one stage
and Candi limped for several weeks after.

I was not expecting any of…
…this disruptive behaviour…
…when we took delivery of…
….Taji and Candi.
We just seem to cure them of one bad trait…
…and like kids, they find another way
to disrupt our lives. 😉 🙂

December 28, 2019…
…and I am sure that Taji is deep in pensive thought
about the year nearly ended and
the one to come.
Agree???
Come on!
She’s a Labrador.
More likely she is thinking
“..I’ve been tied up for two minutes and
haven’t eaten for ten…”
😉 🙂

Immature Taji…first day in her new home
Immature Taji with mature age (read: old) Maggie.
As Taji ponders the passing of her fourth birthday,
she will be five in November,
her body may have reached maturity but
there are times when her brain is
definitely still at day one! 🙂

FOWChallenge-Avarice
~~~~~
~~~~~
avarice
extreme greed for wealth or material gain.
During our visit to…
Schonbrunn Palace…
we were told that it was known as
the Summer Cottage…
…all 1,441 rooms of it.
The ostentatious Palace and surrounds…
…all point to an avarice family…
…demonstrating total disregard for the rest of the population.
Similarly the Palace of Versailles…
…and its surrounds…
…and its 2300 room Palace also demonstrates
the avarice nature of its owners were
in one of France’s harshest historical periods.

alienate
make (someone) feel isolated or estranged.
October 2019…
…this scenario developed into the real deal.
I think it may have resulted from a discussion
about who was boss while I was in hospital 🙂
Blood was drawn, scars were received and
after Taji sat on her, Candi came out of
the fray dragging a back leg into the New Year.
For several weeks they were totally alienated
from each other.
Sideways glares being the only form
of communication.
As the summer wore on we could signs
that all had been forgiven…until the next time! 🙂

Landmarks from any where…
The Eiffel Tower…324 metres high.
The Tower in which Big Ben (the Bell)
resides is 96 metres high.
According too Google the
Geelong Football Club ground
is 5.1 kilometres as the crow flies.
Without the light towers, which are 73 metres high,
the ground would be difficult to spot
even from this vantage point.
***
Although I don’t have a photo,
this morrning Melbourne was laying claim to
having the tallest Southern hemisphere building.
At 388 metres high, the 108 storey
hotel and apartment building
is located in Melbourne’s
Southbank area.
