Working at Airport Vet is great because not only am I getting clinical experience, but Annabelle also cares for the animals in many of the surrounding wildlife parks. I remember being so excited when AustraLearn told me that! As part of our internship, Annabelle sent Christina, Gianna, and me to Hartley's Crocodile Adventures (+Farm) to be work experience students. Gianna is the new 5th year ve... Read Full Entry

Don't mind my freakishly large hands. Instead, focus on the freakishly large croc.

I could just picture you!
I guess large farm animals in Conn. don't seem so bad now! I'm glad you got out of the owl cage alive. Now you must know why i get concerned when I don't hear from you. God only knows what creatures your trying to take care of. I can only imagine the heart ache in losing a favorite tee shirt to the likes of Koala poop!!! My poor daughter!!! Love you, love your blogs!!! I would have been a basket case without them. Being part of this adventure has been amazing. Your the best, my daughter, my friend.. Love you, Mom

What an Adventure!
I have never been in such awe of anyone , you are my shining star! Thanks for the real Koala Bear pictures. The animals are so different but owls must be universal. Stay healthy and I will be so happy to see you. That 3 months went fast. Pop says when you see a geeko step on it, he is sick of those commericals. Love you, Nan

Awesozzzz....
COME HOME. I'm getting approx. 1 hour of healthy REM sleep a night due to Stinky I and Stinky II playing King of the Hill on my bed during all hours of the night. Now I'm sitting at work, in a large empty room because I follow the Don Smith schedule of showing up hours before anyone else. Unlike Don Smith, I require work to be given to me before I have anything to do, so I'm just sitting here, doing nothing. Last week I did Microsoft Excel and this week I'll likely be doing Microsoft Excel. Yay. Nine weeks of training to do Microsoft freaking Excel all day. At least I'm getting paid, unlike some people in Australia. Also, Flower (Stinky II) ate one of those plastic grass strands usually found in Easter baskets. I only know this because it was in the litter box attached to a stinky cat poop. I'm fairly sure a disaster was averted right there. Other than that, the cats are doing okay. Bought Stinky II a new litter box. Eagerly awaiting signs of acceptance and use.

Wow!!!
Hi Linds! I just got back from my vacation to Tortola! Haven't had the opportunity to even see your Mom yet due to the fact that she's in bed by 9:30 and up at 4 am!!! I'm hoping Buxton didn't torture her while I was away! If your Mom never wants a cat for a pet, mine and Buxton's stay might have had something to do with it ; - ). First day back at work, and what's the first thing I do? I read your blog of course! So what PC's aren't working and I have 100 emails and 30 voicemail msgs waiting for me! One must have priorities in life afterall! I have loved reading your blogs. Thank you for sharing your "diary" of your trip with us. Always remember that traveling is an education in and of itself. Continue to see the world and see and live other cultures...there's nothing like it!

lindsay smith aka croc hunter
Lindsay! Those crocs are really scary. I think it's hilarious that you were threatened by an owl. How's the weather down there? Is it still raining a ton? Miss you! Jill

Water dragon?
That was NOT a water dragon. It was a bearded dragon.
