I just dragged myself out of bed so I could do a bat course (on Zoom), and be vaguely ready, dressed and more or less alert by 9am, and of course a local rescue comes in.
I raced out to the very local rescue and easily hooked his little guy out of a small bare street tree; he didn't protest until I tried to wrap him, which is when he vented his displeasure.
At home, I noted that he really wasn't using his legs properly; I'm not sure what is going on there but I'll sort out an x-ray for tomorrow.
He has the most gorgeous expressive little face.
His name came from the street; Denison St. Dennis is the more modern form of the name Dionysus.
In ancient Greek religion and myth, Dionysus is the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness. It seemed to tick all the boxes.
Not using your legs properly can be from a spinal fracture, pelvic fracture or injury, or soft tissue damage. I can't predict this one but I hope it all works out for the engaging little guy.
Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult).

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me.
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me.
IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt.
The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie.
Here’s Jenny’s email.
