The Affectionate Kangaroo

Regular readers of this blog are of course familiar with our good friend Bracken, the kangaroo. Well, after six months of our living here, he is still a staple in our diet of Australian culture. I must admit that the novelty has largely worn off; with the weather getting increasingly sunnier and warmer I would love to just sit and read a book outside, or enjoy my breakfast on our patio. But no…when Bracken is close at hand, there is very little serenity to be had.
But then I give my head a shake….I am but a mere Canadian, blessed enough to have the amorous (if not persistent) affection of none other than a Kangaroo…there are people – even Australians – who could only dream about this stuff, I’m sure.
Tenacious or not, amorous or not, Bracken is still a beautiful, gentle, affectionate kangaroo. So please enjoy this newly edited video of Bracken…instead of calling him our “creepy kangaroo”, he has been re-dubbed “The Affectionate Kangaroo” with some new and humourously affectionate twists.
Enjoy!

When I was a kid, I always wanted a pet kangaroo. How lucky you are! Of course, I didn’t imagine having a kangaroo that was always trailing me around, in the mood for love, which I suppose would get a little old.

Yes, I must admit, we are very lucky to have the friendship of a kangaroo. It is a surreal life I live, sometimes! And when I start to complain or become miserly, I just have to remind myself of where I am, and what I am doing. Kangaroos and Wombats, do your darndest!
