Gone Kanga

Gone Kanga Stories tall and fish will do in Aus we caught a kangaroo put him in the outhouse neat clean bowled old Barney off his feet but did i mention fishing :) been to the river an it was deep bulldogged a Kangaroo not a Sheep the fish just weren’t a biting in a chaff bag he did nicely fit he punched and kicked and bit a bit so Barn he was a skiting so down in the thunder box outhouse down the back behind fowlhouse lurked Barneys bloody larger mouse not goats in there a bouncing the door flew open in went Jack perhaps he had a bowel attack at 4am with language black old Roo was there arising old Roo he was no mouse retard he bounded cross the flaming yard and cleared the fence it wasn’t hard and sprang for the horizon Don Johnson Yes many people have had Roos for pets and like most animals they are lovely to have. Roos can jump over 6 foot fences when they have grown, also good at wriggleing through netting fences. The large male is not defencless and can punch you out, also grab an attacking dog n drown him in a creek or river. They can bite pieces out of you scratch with their arms or hold you and attempt to disembowel you with their long feet toe nails. If you threaten his female mate when in season beware of placid old man roo, dangerous suddenly. And they are prolific breeders after the wet season arrives lots more joeys appear. Many Kangaroos are killed by cars why the country has roo bars on their cars 4 protection of the car. There are millions of Kangaroos possibly more than sheep in Australia no fence can hold em. The orphans of the common roadside death become the pets of tomorrow. im sorry but this is true in Australia Don
