The Crew

Axl & Lola Brother and sister pitbull/sharpei mixes. Just about 1 year old and very, very high energy. Axl has some fear issues that we are trying to work through and Lola is way too smart.

Mr. P, Ricci, and Tweety - Ringneck parakeets. All three talk up a storm, I'm just waiting for them to start talking to each other.

Sherlock - A mustached parakeet. He's about 8 months old and we are unsure he's a he. I guess we'll find out.

The Rest of the Crew

Chubs and Kiko - a pair of cockatiels that have yet to produce viable eggs.

Monty a blue capped Pionus that we are watching for a family.

The Parakeets - three indistinguishable white ones we collective refer to as "the angels"

Thank You

all for your kind comments on Rocco. Only other animal lovers know what it's like to face the end of a beloved pets life.

The good news is Rocco is responding to the prednisone. I know it's not a cure but at least it will help him feel better for a while. I have to dig up and scan the old pictures of Rocco. When I got him he weighed 4 lbs and fit in the palm of my hand. He now weighs 80 lbs and doesn't fit anywhere :) He is also the only one of his litter to survive. His litter were 7 boys that all looked exactly the same, that was weird. All of the others were dead before they were a year old. They all died of parvo since the owners didn't take them to the vet. We found Rocco and decided to keep him and the first thing was a trip to the vet.

I'm starting to get all weepy thinking of losing him. I better get back to work.
