MsPlants 1 year ago
Ive always wanted to move to Australia but I was married to my ex and he didnt want to. got divorced a few years back but then realized I have the dumbest dog and cat ever and I have to wait for them to pass because they would be dead within a week from trying to be friends with every damn animal and insect there. they do that here but at least they are mostly not poisonous or venomous. not the case in Australia. 10lbs dog, 16lbs cat.. dumb as rocks love them to death but they stiff or lick or cuddle everything...
