ROO & BOB

Have been really tired getting to bed at nearly three am each morning and sleeping for five or six hours is taking its toll.
Have done nothing but work eat and sleep looking forward to Saturday morning two am and i can have a couple of days off , before the next two twelve hour shifts .

I have been watching a documentary on tv Kangaroo Dundee about a man living in the Australian outback near to Alice Springs, he lives in a tin shack in a compound that he built over a two and a half year period and he devotes his he looks after kangaroos who have been either injured or orphaned , he had to dig two and a half mile of trenching , dig out for over four hundred poles and erect steel mesh fencing to protect his herd , he feeds the joeys every four hours throughout the day and night , he works in a supermarket and washes buses for a local bus company to fund his life style , he has no toilet and no running water in his shack , he has devoted the last twenty years caring for these kangaroos and as a result of the documentary has received numerous marriage proposals and donations totalling £13,500 , he is a true hero and the kangaroo's respect love him as much as he loves them.



I have also been reading up on James Bowen he was a ex heroin making money for his next fix busking on the streets of London , he came across a ginger tom cat that had been attacked by either a dog or a urban fox , he adopted it paid the vet bill for the cats treatment ,   he named the cat Bob up and they are now inseparable , he takes the cat busking in the centre of London  with him and with the help of Bob his takings have tripled , he has withdrawn from using heroin and is now clean ,  he has written a book about his life with Bob and has so far  received £30,000 in royalties .


Two people the life's change for ever by being around and caring for animals both on the opposite side of the globe both would agree they life's will never be the same again makes you wonder.
