For 19 years I had rehabilitated sick, injured and orphaned indigenous wild animals. I was a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator for the State of California Fish and Game Department. I gladly gave up vacations etc..to care for my beloved friends. I am an elderly grandmother now, and the wonderful days of caring for wild anmials has long past. In the last several years I have written many poems; many about animals. Recently I decided to write about Australia. Australia is a country that I have always yearned to vist.  I decided to write a poem about it.

Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator/Early Childhood Development Degree/Certified Infant Massage Instructor/Business Administration Certificate.

For 24 years I raised and showed Irish Setters. In England, my Show Champion Brandy Royale of Wendover won Best In Show at the largest dog show in Great Britian; #2 all breed in 1978. I showed Irish Setters in the states as well. My late husband was stationed in England for 10 years. During that time, 5 years were dedicated to showing dogs and raising my three sons.
