and introducing Trippi.....

Trippitaka is his full name. I just call him Trippi for short.

If you hadn't already noticed, I've found a program that helps me post photo's. There's no stopping me now - other than a flat battery in my camera!

Trippi was born on the 4th of July, 2001. So that makes him 4 and a half almost.

Don't quite know what I'd do without him. He went on a bit of an adventure the other day. My mates fence blew down in a storm, and Trippi and Bella (my mates 2 yr old german shepherd) went on a bit of an adventure. My mate found them just as a council worker was loading them up into a van. Lucky! Trippi is registered though, so barring him getting hit by a car (god forbid), I would have gotten him back eventually.

God I miss him when I'm out here. The company man bought his dog out here. Max was his name, and he was a red heeler pup. Went rounding up and biting everyone. Sadly Max bit the visiting Safety Officer, and unfortunately he had to go. Max that is, not the safety officer. (we all think Max was an excellent judge of character.)

The company man has a budgie now. The budgies name is Chookie. Chookie hasn't bitten anyone yet that I know of. Although try explaining that one to the safety officer.

Safety officer to injured worker "so, what were you doing at the time of your injury?"

Injured worker: "I was trying to pat the budgie!"
