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.

The Parakeets - we began with a pair of English Budgies but one got out. We then adopted 2 white parakeets to keep the English company. They had 3 babies. The English is blue & known as Rocky, while the white ones are indistinguishable and collectively called the Angels.

Frustrated with the vet

Rocco is on prednisone and has to have it to walk. On Wednesday I called the vet because he was running out. They said they would call me when it was ready and I figured I'd hear from them on Thursday. Thursday afternoon I realized I hadn't heard from them so I called again. I was told that they would find out what was going on and get back to me. By Friday afternoon I'd heard nothing. So I called again. This time I was told that Rocco was late on some blood work and they were waiting for his vet to get in on Sunday. Ummmm, no. Rocco is now out of medicine and starting to have trouble walking. They said they would talk to the vet on duty and have him call me. Nothing. It's now Saturday morning and I still haven't heard from the vet. WTF????? This office is usually so good, what the heck is going on??? They don't open for another hour so I have to wait to call them, but I'm a little pissed. I just watched Rocco struggle to get up, much more than normal, and I have to take him to the vet without medicine so he can hardly walk?? That is just not right. Okay, I'm going to calm down now so I don't blast the vet when I call :)
