In Case You Needed to Go "Awwwwwww!"

Both of the newspapers I “read” regularly – the Chicago Tribune and USA Today – have added sections on pets.  No, I do not call it news.  But I think we can agree that sometimes the news just sucks, anyway.  USA Today posted a… Continue Reading “In Case You Needed to Go "Awwwwwww!"”

Joker

This is Joker, a bunny that I am babysitting for a friend on vacation.  He is a charming bunny and has a favorite game.  At night, when I open his cage door, he comes out and gets right in Shadow’s face for as long… Continue Reading “Joker”

Sigmund

It seems I haven’t told you about Sigmund yet. New foster bird. He came in with another grey and I brought him home because no one had really been able to handle him yet. For the whole three weeks I have had him, he… Continue Reading “Sigmund”

I Can’t Make this Stuff Up, Folks

Kiwi was perched on the refrigerator. It is her favorite lookout point. I went in to the next room, the bird room to see Billy. I had left the door to his cage open, but he hadn’t come out. Me: (reaching out a hand)… Continue Reading “I Can’t Make this Stuff Up, Folks”

Awesome.

Billy has some flash-eye here, and apparently Picasa can’t fix that the same way as it can fix red-eye. But I am putting it up here for two reasons: 1. Proof that Billy stepped up for me. Do you think I could get a… Continue Reading “Awesome.”
