HAHA, she's lying down on back instead of sitting on her belly. She does look very relaxed :)

Pawhealer She does seem content, doesnt she? I admire the patience she has! :)

Captain Tehehe She must have figured out by now that I just want to have a look - Mr Little Wattle Bird isnt so trusting of me! :)
