A most determined owl

Izzie is one seriously antiscocial serpent. One of the many sneaky trickses we use to keep uninvited guests out of the Lair is to have both bottom bits of the front gate stuck in their holes in the ground so that even if you undo the latch, you cannot actually open the gate without sticking a paw in to pull the little hooked gadget out of the way. It's an excellent defence against street spammers and assorted bible bashers (there being a joho Kingdom Hall right next to the local shopping centre - constant vigilance is always called for)
So slinked downstairs on Sunday morning to water the weeds and left the big door open to let in the fresh breeze before slinking upstairs for a snooze
So it was one seriously surprised Izzie who returns at the midday hour to find a big fat envelope lying against the door. The Postie has either got magic powers or trained owls for such occasions. And on a Sunday of all days.

So the Iz got her greedy paws on a big bad bag of ducks and other adorable Leunig lovelies thanks to the wickedly wonderful ozfille There was also a cute little card and a big fat juicy page of more Leunig goodness. A whole sheet of ducks, teapots and other assorted quirky creatures. Much too preciousss to ever wrap a single prezzie in but just perfect for cutting out little piccies and sticking them on everything
Big squishie Izzie thanks for the overdose of quirky gorgeousness.
And now the Izzie feels ever so guilty for firstly putting the poor postie through such an obstacle course and feeling both embarrassed and impressed by such dedication beyond the call of duty and also feels so sad that there's not a single solitary decent cartoonist in the wild west worthy of a return owl across this wide brown land
