I've come across a few strange characters while book signing over the years. Two-legged and four-legged ... Do you remember the unicorn??? (If you missed it, click here: http://graciousjanemarie.blogspot.com/2015/11/unicorn-pays-visit.html) 
Well, add this to the list. There I was, outside Sea Jade, Amelia Island's favorite Old Florida souvenir shop on Centre Street in our historic town of Fernandina Beach. Chatting with some very nice tourists, I interrupted myself to exclaim, " Holy moly! Is that -? Sure is!" Not a kangaroo, but according to the owner carrying the precious critter around in a cloth pouch, it was a wallaby! Much smaller than a kangaroo, she explained Oliver will get to two feet or a little more. Like a dog, he is her pet. At night, he sleeps in this pouch, which hangs from a door knob. He has recently discovered he can jump out of the pouch. She and her husband are going to try a playpen to corral the little critter next. Good luck. Me thinks it won't be long before Oliver will be running the household and pretty much their whole world.
