Spooky cannot seem to stay away from my computer. I took it downstairs to do some homework and supervise parrot play time. Eloise was on her perch, eating her almond butter sandwich. Shadow was at her feet. Kiwi the Grey flew to the floor… Continue Reading “Any Given Friday During the Semester”
The weather was absolutely beautiful today. We broke 50 degrees and while I know this is just the Halftime Show of Winter, I don’t care. When I arrived home from Alex’s birthday party – at 4:30 or so, I opened the garage door and… Continue Reading “Pretending to Be Springtime”
In case you didn’t believe me, about Eloise the Foster Grey and Shadow. Incidentally, the pizza was some “rustic” packaged thing from Costco. It comes with three crusts and the sauce.

Eloise, the African Grey I am fostering (pictured for reference), can whistle “Bridge on the River Kwai”. Just now, when she was doing it, I heard a second whistle: Kiwi the Grey chiming in. Maybe I am going all anthropomorphic, but I think Kiwi… Continue Reading “No Way.”
You may have a gratuitous picture of the dog. This is Shadow, after his Christmas bone, in his favorite spot in the family room.
Just how far gone are we? I have purchased doggie ice cream. Doggie birthday cake. Fresh made doggie cookies of many varieties. I have generally determined that unless it it is a matter of health or other special needs, there is no reason to… Continue Reading “I Thought I Had Seen Everything”
