April 25th is ANZAC Day for Australians and New Zealanders. It begins solemnly at dawn with a memorial ceremony for service men and women, past and present. We pay a special memorial tribute to the original ANZACS — the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps — who fought a losing battle on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915.
ANZAC Day is a national holiday, so after the solemn ceremonies, it’s home for breakfast before we’re off again, this time to line the main streets for the morning parades. By lunch time, we start to tackle the really fun stuff — barbeques, beer and wine with family, friends and furkids!
To celebrate ANZAC Day’s 110th anniversary this year, the Furkids recorded the trooping of the Australian and New Zealand Fur, Feather and Fin Corps! You’re invited to the VIP viewing area for the parade. Quick, get comfy, it’s about to start!
Furkids love the frothy milk at ko-fi.com/furkids. They want you to know they love licking up their frothy moustaches. You can treat them to their favourite frothies for $3/€3/£3. All proceeds go towards Loula’s healthcare, with our heartfelt gratitude to all contributors. 
You can now follow them at Blue Sky: @thefurkids.bsky.social
and Michelle too: @michelleelle.bsky.social
The Furkids are excited that, in addition to their very own account on Blue Sky, they now have their own banner! The inspiring words are by their Aunty Kay (@Kay Coop at Creative Sprints) and the design by their own Michelle Elle.
Very interesting! TYVM!

That is absolutely fascinating! Had I known about this, it would’ve been the coda. In 2027, the 112th Anniversary of ANZAC will fall on a Sunday, so I will update this episode and add the Puteketeke article as the coda!
That was most informative. Learning knows no bounds. Thank you.
OMG! I can’t get over the tiny little fingers on the pigmy possum!
