Bush fires in the Perth Hills and Surrounds.

@Vivaci Always devastating.
I cry sometimes thinking about disasters like this. 🥺
One young couple moved into their new home on Sunday and it burned down on Monday.
An inch and a half of rain predicted over 2 days. Never a sure thing though

@Gusman I FEEL YOUR PAIN! 😭💔

I really do...the amount of domestic pets(horses included) that die, just because the owner left in a hurry after evacuation orders and optimistically thought the fire would never reach his home, is stupidly high. 😤

Not to mention the loss of those brave firefighters...most of them newly married or young men with a young families. 💔

I hope that couple were safe though...🙏😖

Oh! We need continuous rains...and it'll be fine then. 🌧️

@Vivaci The young couple got out before the fire hit.
Once again, Native Animals, pets and livestock lost, will say no more because it is too sorrowful.🥺

@Gusman oh...hugs you! Trust me, it's an ordeal for me too...🤗🤗🤗🤗😑🤗🤗🤗

My dog is a rescue from one such wildfire. That poor fellow had abandonment issues for three yrs...he's fine now, because we try to never leave him alone. 💙🤗

@Vivaci Good on you, Vivvi, giving of yourself for all in need. 🐨

@Gusman And you!!! 💙🤗

That reminds me....how's Tahli? 😍

@Vivaci Tahli is as gorgeous as ever. I love Tahli so much. I have visited her three times now.
One day Tahli will become a mummy to a baby Tahli. What say we call the newbie - TimTams 🤣

@Gusman 😘😍💓 Oh my heart....she's a beauty! Look at her cuddly arms and cute eyes..omg...😄😘😘😘

Yeah, TimTams is a cutie patootie!!!

Call them Takli, Tamli, Tafli as they come.....🐨🐨🐨🤭

May she have many babies...😇💗💙😍😃

@Vivaci My guess is Tahli will have 5 Joeys over time.
Gusman will be oldie by then😂

@Gusman You'll be a proud grandpa with lots of gorgeous mini Tahlis around you...so blessed! 💓😇

@Vivaci Before my dotage is done Gusman will adopt a Numbat as well.
Endangered, found only in South West Western Australia. About 1000 left in the wild.

@Gusman 🥺 She's a beauty...tell me more bout Numbats, Gus...😃🤗

I'll ask my sister of she wants to adopt one too. 💙💗💙💗💙

@Vivaci They only live in a very small area, two small areas, of Western Australia.
Their diet is Termites, up to 20,000 a day.
Their home is what's called Dryandra Woodland, open, dry, (very little water) Eucalypt woodland.
Farming has reduced their homeland to these two small pockets.
They are Diurnal, meaning they are only active during the day.
They have several nesting burrows in their rangeland and they forage for Termites in fallen trees and Termite mounds.
Numbats are small, 7" - 12" body, with a tail that is 5" to 10" long.
Perth Zoo is the only place where they are bred and released into the wild.
Numbats have an average of four pups a year.
I camped for a whole week in the Dryandra Woodlands and never saw a Numbat.
