But this time the item is not in my study. It is from Australia. Here's a clue: you are looking for an animal in this photo. And a further clue: the infant of this species is called a "puggle" (at least in Australia). We had to go to a wildlife park to see one of these; they weren't just running around everywhere.
Hey, did you notice that I joined a Baptist blogring? I wonder if that means I am supposed to say something "Baptist" in my blogs? Or at least religious. I'll work on it.

Oh, I feel so bad. I hve to confess. I cheated and googled puggle. the first thing I got was the puppy, a mix of a pug and a beagle. So then I added Australia to the mix and on about the fifth google page, I found the info I was looking for...does my industriousness count for anything??
I read Rach's comment about you joining the Baptist blog ring. I had already spent some time looking at the Baptist blogs from her site. Maybe the presence of people like you and Rach will lighten things up a bit. I think sometimes we Baptists tend to take ourselves too seriously.
(My word verification this time is "hasto"...has to...what? Is it a secret message?)
First I want to say something to Annie........my word verif. the other night was jackass minus both a's. So what would you think that message meant. And if you read my post from today, you might know why....:)
OK...that said, David, it's the butt end of some sort of creature what I do not know. And I won't cheat and google it like Annie did!
Well, annie, I figured that giving "puggle" as a clue was too much info. So you get credit for being the first to decipher, but you have to wait to see the whole photo.
Yeah, about the Baptist thing, that's how my blog started out--very serious. But I figure if the Baptist Bloggers ring let me and Rachel in, they can't be all that grim.
Looks like you got a better WV than I did. Mine is zcvayk (Polish word for "moped").
Wow, Ayekah, we posted nearly simultaneously! Thank you for playing fair. (Let's try to make annie feel bad, shall we?) But I do have to say that you are looking at the front end of this grown up puggle. Now I will go read your blog to see what you were suggesting to annie via my blog. (Is this confusing?)
Yep, its confusing! ha ha!
I think its an anteater. Maybe? All I know for sure is that its very puggly.
I get a kick out of some of us Baptist bloggers. Some of them are really cool and some need to step out into the sunshine a little more often!
if that's the front end, maybe I won't want to see the whole thing....:)
Oh, wait! Its one of those little shoe polish birds! What the heck are they called? Kiwi? Nah, that's a fruit. Hmm....
Actually, the New Zealand bird IS called a kiwi. The fruit, originally from China, was nicknamed kiwi by the New Zealanders who started raising it commercially. But the photo is neither the bird nor the fruit.
Some kind of bird who eats termites? (My computer was dead. That's why I was absent for a while. It's fixed and I'm back.)
Oh!!! Oh!! Oh!! (Sits on edge of chair with hand waving in the air.) It's a duck-billed platypus? Were you so blessed as to see one in person???
Wow, Patti, what a good guess! Not correct, but very close. Like the platypus, this is the only other monotreme in Australia. (Yes, we did see platypuses at the aquarium. They were smaller than I imagined, only about two feet long. But they swam too fast for me to get a good photo. Next post I will include a shot of the bottom half of one!)
I know..it looks like a little porcupine and it lives in the forest...what's it called...
echidna
Aren't they the only monotremes in the world?
I thought echidna was that stuff you take for colds...no wonder mine is not getting any better...
I know the answer, but I cheated, and must now bow my head in shame...
