Easter

Daisy and Bella with our Easter Bilbies (Roxy was totally uncooperative.)
 Happy Easter everyone. As usual SHE bought some Easter Bilbies.
Some of our newer followers might not know that the little Bilby is
under threat in Australia from rabbits, foxes and feral cats.

He's a cute little fellow, isn't he?  He lives way out west.
 Bilbies were almost extinct, but a concerted effort was made to save him.  One of the ways
of raising money, is the annual Easter Bilby campaign.  By buying Easter Bilbies and not bunnies, money goes to the conservation foundation to save these little fellows.
So we always buy a few...even though no one in our house eats chocolate!
 For Easter we got dyed hard boiled eggs and share of a hot cross bun for breakfast.
And have to take the obligatory photo before we can eat!
This year SHE brought us a Showbag from the Easter Show--(see  yesterday's post.
Hurry up with the picture!!!
It's a special one for dogs.  It has a tin of food, packet of kibble, kangaroo jerky bites, a ball, measuring cup, bag clamp, poo bag carrier and a fur shedding tool.

After this photo we went to the river even though it was RAINING!! (just a bit)

We had the tinned food and kibble in our kongs  this afternoon.
Hope you have a Happy Day!

    What a wonderful idea to save your bilbies, I've not heard of them before! Glad you had some Easter treats...it doesn't have to be about chocolate!

  3. What a nice story about the bilbies. I have to say they look like a rat-like rabbit because they look a little skinny in the nose, however, cute none the less! You gals have good self control putting up with those pictures and looking all pretty in your bandanas with all those goodies in front of you! I need some of that self control when it comes to chocolate!

No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  30. That makes a lot of sense to have chocolate bilbies instead of bunnies! I wonder if the bunnies don't get their noses out of joint just a little though? Oh well, as long as it helps the bilbies that is what is important.

    Cheers,
    Stella and Zkhat
