IMG_0147

We ‘ear of le bird ‘oo ‘as fallen out of la tree.
As ah am le one ‘oo know what to do, ah race to resuscitate ‘im.
Le Uncle come with me because ‘e is Australian.
Australians know everything.IMG_0149

Eet ees ‘ard work but le most tricky thing of all, is to find ‘im.
IMG_0114

We all gallop around looking for le bird ‘oo ‘as fallen out of le tree.IMG_0127

Muzzeur try to get there on two legs.
‘Wrong two legs Muzzeur’ ah say ‘elpfully.
Clearly ‘er big botterm weigh ‘er down.
IMG_0126

Soon we forget about le bird and Le Uncle decide to teach me more of ‘is farting moves.
This ‘ere, it is called Le Livard, because it make le opponent le Livard.
IMG_0118

Le Uncle teach me if another ‘orze approach me lark this,
it is because, ‘e want to kiss me and ah must fart mah way out of it.
‘Go orn, Gizakiss,’ ‘e say. Ah am scared.
IMG_0129

Ah am very good at le farting – and galloping too. Especially when there is a kiss coming mah way.
IMG_0140

Le Uncle show me ‘ow to fend off all manneur of le kisses.
IMG_0130

Then ‘e got me. ‘e planted le big Australian kiss on mah neck.
Naturally, ah was ‘orrified.
Ah try to fart ‘im off.
IMG_0131

Ah even ‘ide be’ind Muzzeur. No one can see me ‘ere if ah stay still and close mah eyes.
IMG_0150

But it is no good. Le Uncle find me.
‘There there moi son’ ‘e say, ‘you look loike a one armed kookaburra’.
Ah ‘ave to think about this. Could ‘e be talking about le bird ‘oo fall out of le nest?
IMG_0159

While ah am thinking about this, Le Uncle and ah practice walking backwards.
We walk 5 laps of le paddock backwards.
IMG_0170

Then Muzzeur join in and we all do another lap backwards. No one is allowed to look be’ind, not even once.
Ah try to get Muzzeur to break le rule.
‘Muzzeur,’ ah say, ‘there ees a big bird on your botterm right ‘ere, look at it’.
As usual, all she does ees be grumpy at me.IMG_0189

Later that day ah try to make it up to Muzzeur.
‘Come on Muzzeur,’ ah say, ”ow many Professeur Emeritus’s ‘ave big fat grumpy Muzzeurs?’IMG_0482

But clearly Muzzeur is Grass Affected.
Ah mean look at ‘er. IMG_0483

Speaking Engagements

Since being awarded le Veterinary de la Séance Degree with Distinction,
and being made Professeur Emeritus, ah ‘ave a lot of speaking engagements.
IMG_0196

Lark this morning for example.
Muzzeur was introducing me to le large crowd ‘oo ‘ave gathered to ‘ear what ah ‘ave to say…
IMG_0096

First she clear ‘er throat and then – ‘My son need no introduction’ she say…
At least I assume that ees what she say, ah am not actually listening.
IMG_0099

She bow to le audience but ah am too  busy playing with le Uncle to give mah speech.
IMG_0101

Le Uncle and ah were ‘aving a quick game of ‘ad eet up to ‘ere to settle mah nerves.
Ah do not think anyone notice. We are ‘idden be’ind Muzzeur’s big botterm.
IMG_0092

Mah friend Gollamb ‘as come to listen and ‘ee ees all ears.
gollamb

Muzzeur can ‘andle le introductions while ah score le points.
All eyes are on Muzzeur.
IMG_0104

Gollamb ‘as brought ‘is sister Muslamb along with ‘im. She ees weird.
‘Get on with it’ she yell. She ees le rude sheeps.
muslamb

Muzzeur ees nearing le end of ‘er speech.
Considering eet was all about me ah am surprised eet was so short.
IMG_0106

‘Excuse moi Le Uncle’ ah say, ‘ah am due on stage’.
IMG_0107

Suddenly Muzzeur ees distracted. Le Uncle seize le opportunity to score le point in le game.
IMG_0108

Suddenly ah ‘ave forgotten all about giving le speech.
IMG_0109

Beside, Muzzeur seem to be enjoying ‘er moment in le spotlight.
IMG_0110

And quite frankly ah can not let Le Uncle win one more game of ‘ad eet up to ‘ere.

‘Bloody hell’ say Le Uncle, ‘does he know you did not study Jack’.
Of course ah did not study Jack, there ees no ‘orze called Jack ‘ere – ah ‘esitate to point out le obvious.
IMG_9489

Suddenly Le Uncle start yelling at me in Australian. Ah ‘ave no idea why.
‘How come a hairy leedle Tossa like you gets to become a Professor all of a sudden,’ ‘e yell.
IMG_9506

‘We can not all be brilliant, and ‘andsome,’ ah am shouting back now.

IMG_9542

‘Oh come on Mate, this is bullshit’ ‘e say as ah am ‘oiking up le storm.

‘Now say that again in Australian so we can all understand,’ ‘e say.
‘Ah do not speak Australian’ ah reply.
IMG_9534

‘Of course you do yer hairy leedle tosser, everyone can speak Australian, eets not Rocket Science’.
IMG_9535

‘Now come on, Oi’ve got colic, you have your  Tossership in Veterinary Séance, who are you going to call up from the dead?’
Ah put mah nose up in le air to show ‘im ‘ow much more qualified than ‘im ah am.

We decide to stop arguing and look impressive instead.
