Pia in the trees

Keen to get going

A thumb and 4 claws on each rear foot. The line on her tummy is her pouch opening where one day she will carry her babies.

Gripping and grasping, notice the big chunk bitten out of her ear, she also had a big bite on her lower tail

Little buck teeth and a pink nose

That tail is a handy thing

That look...........I'm tired !

Safe

Little Princess Pia is practising her tree climbing every day now, she's getting better at it each time she swings around in our garden. She climbs from my shoulder in whichever tree or bush takes her fancy. Her back legs are still weak but she's is beginning to grasp branches and uses her tail as an extra point of contact, she gets scared and starts breathing fast and heavy but she is determined. When she's had enough she has that look in her eye and she willingly lets me pluck her off the branch and she snuggles in my arms...........she's a real sook. These photos are from this mornings effort it is a very bright sunny spring morning and it was tricky trying to avoid shooting straight into the sun.

If you click on any of the photos you will see so much more detail, you can even see me in her eye in the last photo..........still in my PJ's!
