Hiiiiiiiii!

My name is Tubbitha and I like to smile. A lot.

My mum was hit by a car and killed in a very remote part of Victoria on a freezing cold night. Luckily a kind lady stopped to check my mum’s pouch before I got too cold, the temperature often drops to below zero I’m told.

But now that I am safe; I try to focus on becoming fuzzy, strengthening my leg muscles and practicing my cheesy grins.
Apparently I’m hard work because I’m starving hungry every four hours… but I’m so happy so does it even matter?

What do you think of my latest teefy grin? 🤓

Love Tubby

Portrait of the King.

Today, I buried my best mate.

If you’ve known me or been following GWO in the last 7 years, chances are you knew about Nigel, my little shadow.

Nigel is so loved and had a life like no other Wombat.

Baby Pebs, I’ll carry you forever.

Right now I can’t find other words to write.

Life without Bronson is quiet, darker and sad.

It still astounds me that a little life can consume so much of your own. There is an emptiness without him. He held so much character, exuded so much energy and bounce.

I am lucky that Beatrice and Landon don’t seem to miss him as much as I do.
When I refer to them or go and feed them they are still “The Three” and I think they always will be.

Thank you as always for your patience and I hope to be more present on here for you all.

Love Emily

It hurts when a human mother wombat buries a baby wombat she has cared for.

Bronson died in my arms this morning.

We don’t know what happened. He deteriorated so quickly and we think it must have been related to the tummy issues he suffered when he first came into care.

You probably know we don’t normally share these kinds of things so know that it’s not easy to write this. But we think it’s important to acknowledge as it makes the happy, thriving and bouncing moments so much more special to us.

Please send your love and strength to Baby Landon and Beatrice as we support them through their grief without their protector Bronson Bear.
