ROCKY AND EDWARD, THE ODD ANIMAL PAIRING STILL (ALMOST) BEST OF FRIENDS

By

Almost two years after a caring truckie introduced them, Edward the emu and Rocky the dog are still together.

Edward was found abandoned on the side of the road near Nannup in WA's south-west and rushed to wildlife carer Dee Patterson's property for rehabilitation.

There, she came to the attention of resident hound Rocky the Malteze Shih Tzu and they became fast friends, eating, walking and sleeping together.
Though they remain friends, Ms Patterson says it can be tricky juggling the pair as they both grow up.

"They still go for walks but I generally have to keep Rocky on a lead," she said.
"But they're great fun to have around and I'd be lost without them."

Despite living on an open bush block surrounded by native forest, Ms Patterson said other than her daily exploratory walks, Edward has shown no intention of leaving.

"I'd like to think it's down to her friendship with Rocky," Ms Patterson said.

"But I also think she's simply used to living in a humane environment, although that may change as I think she's looking for a mate."

By AFP   |   28 January 2017 US authorities wasted no time implementing Donald Trump’s order halting Muslim arrivals, detaining travelers arriving at American airports within hours of the US president signing the tough new measures, media reports said Saturday. The New York Times reported that airport officials as early as Friday night began detaining travelers, some of whom already had been aboard their flights when Trump announced his executive order closing America’s borders to refugees. Trump’s order suspends entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days and indefinitely halts the admission of refugees from Syria. It also bans entry into the United States from travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — for 90 days. The order paved the way for what Trump has pledged will be “extreme vetting” of visa applicants’ backgrounds — with some exceptions made for members of “religious minor...
