No, you are right! You guys don't have coyotes??

Nope. Dingoes. They can be super nasty ~ especially the Xbreeds. Foxes are an introduced species. Thank you soooo much, England!

Good morning folks Sorry I've been awol, work is driving me nuts. But I'm getting there.

@Ribh I'm finally feeling much better. Thank you so much for asking! Today I feel like myself again. The stress of the spinal tap and spinal headache put me into a flare. All my joints hurt and I swell up until I feel like my skin is going to pop. This morning I woke up and all the pain was gone and so was the swelling.

I can't wait until we know exactly what this is we're dealing with, then hopefully I can start a maintenance medication to prevent these flares.

I'm so glad you're feeling better

Even if it's a picture and not a video per se ?

Sorry. Not sure I understand. I'm pretty sure if you can upload it onto a computer you could upload to you tube but I'm a technological moron so I'm not sure about that.

Hey, Bob. We understand. Hopefully things will settle down again soon you can join in the fun.

Ugh We've had some of those as well, thanks to our own government. Wolves, for example

Oh that's good news! When will you have a diagnosis?

And I am too, haha. On my phone you can take a picture and it captures a snip-it of motion. Sometimes. I'm just not sure how it translates. I might ask one of the IT guys.

If you upload using the "Attach files" button below, it will give you the pic without the motion.

Strangely enough, I do understand ~ & I've never thought you hard~hearted. Until fairly recently we have been more rural than urban with a lot of wildlife ~ a lot of predation. My youngest & I once watched a shark separate a dugong baby from its mother. Understandably it was a long time before that child would get in the water again. My observation says everything wants to continue to live & so I am sad when that doesn't happen even though I know many species are predators & others are prey. It is fascinating in its own way. One of my lads was showered in blood & feathers on the verandah one day from a hawk strike on a pigeon & I've done my share of wildlife rescues but though my head understands it still grieves my heart. Nature will always strike a balance. One of the comments I made to my man about the recent fires is that they won't need to cull the roos this year; the fires have done that for them.

It's terrible the toll on the wildlife. I've seen picture of plant life recovering after just a few days. The guy who posted the pictures said the diversity will take time but species that have lived through fires for centuries recover very quickly. The wildlife can survive on these and will gradually repopulate the areas that have been burnt. It's going to take a long time though due to the sizes of the areas burnt.
