That's your backyard? Wow...that looks so nice and open!! We have one of those small closed in backyards where I live!! Your son is so lucky I love animals and it looks great to be able to feed a kangaroo.  ;D

Katie - Welcome to Bettermost! We are glad to have you here!

Those pictures are beautiful! And that picture of the baby kangaroo is so cute! I just love baby animals. And your son sitting in  the picture feeding the baby with a bottle makes it even more sweet and cute! thanks for posting these! :)

I loved the pics!

Katie is that the same little baby that was being fed with the bottle by your son?

Awww. I am so glad he is okay now. I love happy endings! :)

yes David....thats the same one.....

You cant see it, but in the first pic when Adam was holding the baby, it was only about 14 inches long, and had no hair.....he was found in his mothers pouch, after she had been killed by a car.......at that age they have to be fed four times a day....

Eventually, they get off the bottle, and start eating cereal and grass.....

Adam reared many orphans, as well as looked after other injured wildlife.We have always been a family of animal lovers....

And guess what Adam does now......We own a pet shop and Adam and his brother Paul, run the shop.....what better business could he have got into....

This is just another one of my poll updates!  :)

So far, according to our poll, 51 people have voted. Out of those 51 people...

32 are from the United States.
11 are from Great Britain and Western Europe
4 are from Canada
3 are from Australia, New Zealand and Oceania
1 is from Mexico, Central America and South America

What surprises me is this: Out of all of these votes, 11 are from the Midwest! Wow! I would have NEVER guessed this! :o

Who would have ever suspected there would be such a high percentage of Brokies in the Midwest? Somebody please check my math but isn't this something like 20% of the total number of votes thus far? I guess there is some hope for the Midwest after all! :)

Hopefully this gives us a snapshot of the people here on the forum and where they are from.

Have you voted yet? Please do! We would love to hear about you and where you are from!

Everybody comes from an interesting place and has a story to tell.

Please tell us yours! :)

Wow, as a fellow Midwesterner, that surprises me, too! Thanks for doing this poll, David.
