G'day everybody! I am an Aussie girl known as 'A.G'. I am 11 years old. I have had many other blogs and some web-sites, and I am doing my own wildlife show! I am 'animal crazy' and so that is why my nick name is Animal Girl (A.G). I have one dog (possibly two in the future) two cats, 4 guinea pigs, five chooks (possibly more in the future) two ducks, and we have cows that live next door and behind us! I hope that in the future all wild animals, native and foreign, will have a secure future, and that we will NEVER have to say bye to the dear beauties of the ocean, Whales.

I am moving my blog to Wordpress, I find this Homeschool Blogger thing such a nusiance. so yeah. if you want to see my new blog check out   Chelonia Green  so good bye from here forever! for the last time known as Animal Girl (now known as Chelonia Green) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/656067/ Sun, 8 Feb 2009 22:17:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/656067/ G’d a y! My friend N.C.G is staying at my house! Two days ago, my friend N.C.G found a blue tongue. I was hanging out washing, and she said she would go check for eggs in the shed, she said “there is an egg over here near the door, I will just go see if there are any more eggs......... ahhhhhh! There is a bluetongue in here!” I lost it, and dropped everything and ran in, and saw a BEUAT BONZA gorgeous bluetongue, I picked her up, and she had egg yoke drooling from her mouth!!! Eeuuuwwww. Then I did not know what to do, I ran inside and said to Mum “hey, we have an unwanted egg thief” and I brought in the adorable Blue tongue .N.C.G and I, took her over to the neighbours, but they weren’t home, that is where this adorable girl came from. So we took her back around. We then decided (after we had taken out the eggs) to put her back in the chook shed, facing the gap under our fence, leading into the neighbours yard. But she did not go in there, but turned away and ran under the chook shed floor! I named her Laurel. I have not seen her since. To tell the difference between a female and male bluetongue, is by the head. Boys (typically!) have big heads, and skinny bodies, usually girls laugh when I tell them this! But as soon as I tell them what girl bluetongues look like, they stop laughing. Girl bluetongues have small heads, but BIG FAT BODY’S! That is not very funny!   Yesterday, we saw a snake! Cool! N.C.G & I were outside with our family s, anyway, we saw a snake suddenly, everyone else jumped back, but I stayed and nearly went forward. My first thought was very idiotic, ‘Grab the snake!” but luckily I did not! He was a pale sort of colour, with a small head, I think he was either a brown snake, or a dugite, he was not very big. Boy he was awesome, then he flew under the chook shed! I hope to see him again! Mum tried to make lots of vibrations to scare him away, snakes are deaf so you can sing and they won’t hear you. You know how in those countries how the snakes ‘dance’ to the music (I hate that, they pull their fangs out and then snakes never see freedom again, or if they do, they can’t survive with out their fangs) well people say ‘its the vibrations from the music’ but it is not, I mean, seriously, it is not that loud the music they play, it is actually the movement of the instrument. That is how they ‘dance’, because notice how the people playing the instrument always move!   Today at church, I stuck cicada shells on people’s backs!!! I did it to some people, but a girl it away! It was rather annoying!! I stuck some on about five people’s backs I think, or maybe 4. N.C.G went home today.   A.G      http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/649968/ Sun, 25 Jan 2009 21:30:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/649968/ Habari? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/646460/ Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:25:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/646460/ Two names you go by: 1.

I like the bit where Peter has to fight the bad guy, but I also can't handle very well when he stabs the guy in the stomach. Or the bit when the bad guy has blood trickling down his neck when Caspian breaks into his fathers bedroom. and I think it is really sad when they leave all there friends behind the gates and they all die, and they can't save them. my Favourite charecter is Lucy, but I don't like Susan very much (not the real person but the person in the book) because in the very last book Susan betrays Aslan and does not get into Narnia ever again. Thie bit where Aslan says (in the end of Prince Caspian) that Peter and Susan can't go back, so not exactly true, when they die they actualy get back into Narnia, though Susan does not. you have to read the books though! they are soo good! some of the things are the same as in the book, but some of them aren't. by  ~A.G~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642649/ Wed, 7 Jan 2009 21:44:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642649/ sorry but the photo did not work! it was just bindi dressed in red with a white snake around her neck.

I know Bindi is a big hit in the USA but not so much here in Australia.    you probably can’t read the words so here it is below.         Top Green Crusader 2008-Bindi Irwin OK! Congratulations! What was the highlight of 2008 for you? When we went to Alaska to do whale research on Humpback Whales. We're working with Oregon State University to prove to the international Whaling Commission that non-lethal research can be done on these magnificent creatures. What does 2009 hold for you? 2009 is going to be a beaut, bonza year. I am very excited because I have a filming project in Africa, which is where we have a conservation program helping support Cheetahs. We are helping by providing tracking collars for the Cheetah's so they can be tracked and relocated if they ever get into a conflict with humans. What was the biggest lesson you learned this year? That my Daddy's important work must continue and I am inspired by all the support my family has received. I'm determined to never give up! Steve Irwin Day, on November 15, was a huge success. We have many Wildlife Warrior friends who are helping to keep my daddy's dream alive. Who's the Aussie star shining brightly for you right now? The veronicas are my shining stars because they're lovely girls with great music as well as being ambassadors for Wildlife Warriors. Have you made any New Year's resolutions? To stop a small mining company from destroying my daddy's reserve in far north Queensland. It's 135,000 hectares; chock-a-block full of wildlife, including some species that are rare and vulnerable, like the Palm Cockatoo. What's your favourite memory of 2008? When we went to do crocodile and file snake research at the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in August. I got to do school on the reserve for a month and my classroom was under a big tree overlooking the Wenlock River. What's your message to the OK! Readers who voted for you? I'd like to thanks everyone who voted for me so much, it means a lot. My daddy worked to change the world to make it a better place. If one man can make a difference, you can make a difference. If you would like to help Bindi make her resolution come true, please got to www.savesstevesplace.com and sign the petition to save Steve's Place.   Animal Girl.   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642644/ Wed, 7 Jan 2009 21:37:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642644/ how was news years eve/ day? ours was great! we went swimming new years eve with some friends from our church. it was so much fun, I wouold dive to the bottom and look for fish! we saw heaps! then I cramped my leg, and I managed to release it, but it was still painful! and we had to walk around the bay (It was a little under a km walk) but I managed to ignore the pain, it was fun watching the fireworks! did any of you guys win the trip to meet Bindi Irwin? yep you could have picked up the Sunday Mail NewsPaper on Sunday, and you might have won. I did not enter. AG http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642234/ Tue, 6 Jan 2009 23:44:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/642234/ G'day everyone! I hope you have had a beaut Christmas, or a beaut non Christmas if you don't celebrate it! To keep it basic, I will just say my fav things I got for Christmas. I have five fav things my MP3 music player, my Camera (a big surprise! I had no idea that ‘santa’ would give me that!) Prince Caspian (you just have to see it!) and a beautiful horse head and a horse trotting (thanks for those). I like Christmas, not just for the pressies, but for the food! I also like giving presents away too! For Christmas my Mum got 3 face clothes (pink, purple, blue) a purple hand towel, a mug with bears on it, a chocolate, a pair of crocs (or clogs, I mean the shoes with holes in them) and a white photo frame! She was happy with those!   Well, I am leaving now!   Bye!   A.G http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/636963/ Sat, 27 Dec 2008 01:17:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/636963/ Sadly, we can't go to this cool thing that a place had on, with Christmas lights and stuff, and we were going with our church!!!!!! I SSOOOO wish we could go!!!! !!!!!! But Mum wants to go to church tomorrow, and if she goes tonight, she might not feel well tomorrow, because she is sick at the moment. I so wish we could go! There is a bit of good news though. Cleopatra should be shedding her skin soon, I looked at the ‘snake calendar’ as I call it (it has when I have fed my snake and when she last shed her skin etc) and it says she should be shedding soon, and I have noticed lately she is turning sort of grey and milky colour. So she skipped a feed today, I shall wait till Monday. I wonder why the U.S.A people (who ever it is who makes the laws!) band making toys for kids at home. I reckon they just want to get the economy up and running, similar to what the people over here in the land down under are doing. The government guy (Kevin Rudd) reckons that if he gives money to everyone, then they will spend it and that will raise the economy, poor logic I say! I SSOOOOO hope the Aussie government don’t copy the Yankees! Boy that would be terrible, I love making stuff! I agree partly with Capitalism, but I also agree with Socialism, so I am a mixture! I have done a lot of posts lately! More then I thought I would have time for! Oh, and you can add your self to the competition early if you want, but it does not start for a few more weeks yet! Next year I plan on working really hard towards conservation! I have a few things planed! One is this book! And I hope by the end of next year, my book and other things will be a great success!   Well I have to go now, oh hang on. I tag my self! I decided to answer some of my tags! Do you believe in hunting crocs? Or their eggs and saying ‘it really is not killing the croc, its just an egg’? NO!!! Have you ever eaten a croc? NO!!! and never will! Do you believe in fur trade? Absolutely positively NOT! Do you like squishing ants? NO! it is so sad seeing dead animals! If you hit an animal, would you get out of the car and see if it was injured or not? Yes! Do you think that it is o.k. for scientists to change from one whale species to another, just for ‘scientific research’? When the left over’s actually go to Japanese restaurants? No, it is hunting in disguise! Do you take great joy in making a hobby out of killing animals, just for fun and because it is apparently ‘relaxing’, a hobby such as……. FISHING? NO! I have never been fishing! Do you like shooting birds or other animals ‘just as a bit of sport’? never have even considered it!   Do you go to church? Yep Do you like singing? Yep What is your fav thing church? Probably Sunday school, I also enjoy the sermons. Do you like hanging out with friends? YEPPPP!! Are you an Aussie? Yep Did you like this tag? (you don’t have to like them) well of course I do! I made it! Hahahaha!!! Who will you tag? Danny (my dog)   The third. Do you like Brittany Spears? no Do you like Bindi Irwin? Hard to say. Do you like the Veronicas? NOOOO!!!!! They are FFAAARRRR too done up in make up!!! Do you like the queen? (Elizabeth) yeah I suppose, not that her life has much of an effect on me! Do you like Natalie Gouci (Winner of 2007 Australian Idol)?  YYEEESSS! Do you like Charlie Dodril (you probably never heard of him)? Yep. Do you like Colin Buchanan? Sort of, not the kiddie songs, the ones for adults. Do (or DID) you like the Crocodile Hunter? Yeess! Do you like Terri Irwin? Yes.   Bye! Don’t forget! I LOVVE comments! So feel free to ask questions!   Love,   Animal Girl http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/634608/ Sat, 20 Dec 2008 01:01:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/animalgirlslife/634608/
