Koala to Putin: Vladimir, don’t mind Tony, his communication skills are zero and vocabulary is a bit limited. He meant ‘the cuddly koala group hug,’ but it came out as ‘shirtfront.’
(Shirtfronting: rough tackling to the ground of an opponent in Australian slang – move considered illegal in Australian football. Australian PM Tony Abbott infamously repeatedly announced he would shirtfront Putin. Honestly, Putin’s nerves are made of steel and his patience is infinite after a comment like that.

Koala to Putin: Vladimir, now I see what all those dogs and others animals have been raving about!
This kind of tackling is welcome, as long as none of these dogs is called Tony 😉

Lada Ray Blog 
Hi Lada from Australia! Just wanted to say that not all Australians believe the rubbish our media feeds us. We are becoming proficient at reading between the lines, and gathering knowledge from many other sources other than mainstream media. Thank you for your work, it is very informative and encouraging. Looking forward to hearing more. 🙂
I know there are smart people everywhere. For you I write this blog. 🙂
So nice to hear from you.
Such beautiful pictures, Lada. Mr. Putin certainly seems to love animals. That is a very good thing to see. I could not decide which picture I liked best ~ beautiful horses, too by the way! Thanks for sharing!
I added new pic: Putin with the dolphins + a link to my other article with petitions re. dolphin/whale deaths in CA from US Navy games to sign. Take a look!
Yeah, Putin is a big animal lover. Like me, like many. Animal lover we can trust. 🙂
