He should get out more!

Glutton for punishment !! Last time we tried this I scratched you then peed on you - didn't think you'd risk it again !!

[Buenchico]

That's roughly the story of my life with females anyway, Seekeerz 😊

[seekeerz]

Sorry forgot to add 😘😘 afterwards 

[roopower]

Aw.... sweet - you decide which one! 

[windywillow]

So cute ..... and the koala bear's not bad either. 👍

[Buenchico]

Thanks for the posts. I don't get called 'cute' or 'sweet' very often!

Actually, the most noticeable thing about her was how heavy she was.  She might only look like a stuffed toy but the was a lot of fat there!  She also smelt of, erm, koala ;-)

did it wee on you? they do that apparently!

[Buenchico]

^^^ Not on me, TTT, but I seem to recall that others in that photoshoot weren't quite as lucky ;-)

(They keep the photography sessions really short, so as not to over-stress the koalas.  They also use a different animal each day, so that each koala only gets handled once or twice per month.  It's a good money-earner for the animal reserve , as it's not cheap to take part. With such a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime opportunity though, I just had to have a go!).

I think you must be sending your valentine cards to the wrong species !

[Barsel]

When was that taken Chris?

I don't envisage you looking like that now.

[Buenchico]

I save my Valentine's Cards for my cats, O_G, because they were born on 14 February 2014 ;-)

I definitely don't look much like that now, Barsel!  I've now got far less hair, a much bigger waistline and an infinitely better taste in sweaters 😊

[Countrylover]

Gorgeous.   Both of you!!

[Barsel]

I expect none of us look like we looked in 1986. 

You looked very much like a student or a young teacher whereas now, you sound like you probably look like a Professor.😉

[Buenchico]

Thank you, Countrylover 😀

 

I don't mind being compared to a professor, Barsel.  My friend is a professor (Professor Emeritus, Experimental High Energy Physics, University of Virginia) and, despite being almost a decade older than me, he looks to be at least a decade younger than me!  I wanna know his secret!

[Hopkirk]

Which one's you?

[Buenchico]

^^^ The smelly one, Hopkirk ;-)
