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"

The anatomy of an fight

The dogs have taken to playing a lot. I mean a lot. Everytime you turn around they are running around like their butts are on fire chasing each other, rolling and tumbling. It's hysterical. The other day they wre doing it and I got the camera out. Here are some of the shots:


It usually begins over this bone. Lola, the dog on the right, really loves this bone and Axl generally ignores it. But when he wants to play he will get the bone and drop it in front of Lola, she had been lying on the bed there just minding her own business. 


It doesn't take long before it is on. Look at the face on Axl, what a hambone. Lola does not hold back.



And in no time at all she's got Axl on the ground. Look at him, he looks like he's smiling. He loves this stuff and I know he does it on purpose.
