Oh, the things that happen when I’m nowhere near my camera.
I had Bird on my shoulder, showing him his reflection in the mirror in the hallway.  He always chirps and clucks at it, and sometimes he gets pretty animated.  But he pulled off a first last night.
He caught sight of the cigarette pack in my [...]

Yesterday was interesting.
BJ and I spent the entire day cleaning the dogs.
When I say the “entire” day, I really mean it.  It started out with baths — assembly line style works best when you’re trying to scrub up four of them — and since they seem genetically encoded to hate bath time, there was a [...]

Poor Bird.
To get him ready for the week-long camping trip beginning this weekend, I took the play top off his new cage and replaced it with his old smaller cage, also known as his “camper.”
I can tell by the look in his eyes that he sort of remembers the old cage, and he’s thrilled to [...]

BJ and I are finally getting away to go to the lake later this week, and this time, we’re taking the bird.
I know — I’ll probably really regret this decision, but I can’t bear the thought of him being so crestfallen like he was last time when we left him at home.  He’s got a [...]

I think my brother has been pouring Miracle Grow on the doggie kibble.
BJ and I had some errands to run this afternoon, and our travels took us near Dave’s house, so we decided to stop by and see if anyone was home.  We had a very nice visit, and I got to see the bloodhound [...]

What a glorious if worrisome weekend!
BJ and I took the four dogs to camp, but we decided not to take the bird.  Nighttime temperatures have been in the 40s, and since the inside of the cabin is still unfinished and uninsulated, we were worried about him getting too cold.  Besides, he’s a bird.  His world [...]

Anybody want an AKC registered bloodhound pup?
I was talking to my sister-in-law this evening, and she asked for my help in selling those puppies born on Valentine’s Day. She says they still have four males and two females — and that’s in addition to the parents, a hyperactive Vizla, two Pomeranians, a cat (I [...]

Do you have a dog? Is he friendly? Do you wish there were signs you could post for liability issues that don’t give the impression of a vicious, rabid, crazy attack animal? Yeah, me too.
That’s why I was so excited to learn about a company that produces signs designed for the vast [...]

My Canadian buddy Stinkypaw asked for a picture of Pink Dog, and since it’s been awhile since I’ve posted any doggie photos, I’m happy to oblige.
So here ya go, Stinky: Ginger the Wonder Dog!

She was REALLY pink right after the bath, but it’s looking a little more natural now. The thing is, [...]

Astro the evil psychobird is a music lover!
Our quartet is learning some new music, and I’ve been listening to a few of the numbers online to help with the memorization.  There’s this one song in particular that he really enjoys.
Since I’ve never owned a parrot before, I’m not all that good at reading the subtleties [...]
