Georgie's animal hot tubs

Not content to be wrapt in bandages from head to foot the gorgeous Georgie sees fit to have hot tubs as well. We have been schooled in to this preening behaviour by our Kiwi poodle and have to maintain the tradition.

Poodle Parlours etc, we await LA. Veterinary psychologists there too I believe.

To get back to hot tubs. I think Georgie has had her last nocturnal tub. At Koompartoo there is a kind of netted outdoor room a bit like a raspberry plantation. Within is a large tub, with underwater jets (I wont go there), which can be heated up and sat in whilst sipping glasses of wine and listening to the sound of the bush. The first visit she had was disturbed by scrambling sounds on the flimsy roof and we are not talking mouse scratches.
She then looked through the netting to see a ratty face with bulging eyes staring straight at her. She appeared back at our room at full tilt, not without trying to take a photo though. She is nothing if not brave. The culprits turned out to be possums.

Last night she had only settled into the tub again when she heard some swishing sound outside. She peered out to see a 2 metre long snake just 2 feet away from her. Back she came and night tubs are a thing of the past.

Speaking to our host Erika today I find out that the snake is 'Eduardo' and lives in her roof along with Geoffrey the goanna. He is apparently quite harmless and is one of the few non poisonous specimens. He is a diamond python about two metres long. She showed me his skin from last year that he had sloughed up on the roof.

There are no snakes in Ireland as St Patrick got rid of them all. They went to New York and became cops , according to Brendan Behan
