The Crew

I'm head zoo keeper at the home of 2 dogs and 9 birds. The cast of characters are:

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.

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.

Lil Lols

I was looking through some old pictures, when your computer threatens to die you tend to do things like that, and I found a picture of Lola when we first got her.

Look at her feet. I absolutely loved her feet. Here, you can see them better here:

Look at those feet!!! So wrinkly!! I loved them. That's the sharpei part of her.

Now here's a more recent one:

Her feet are still a little wrinkly but not as much. It looks like she's been using anti wrinkle creams, but she hasn't. Her body is kind of funny.  She has little short legs and her body is very stocky, not fat, but thick.  Her brother has long legs and is painfully thin though he has gotten much better since we've had him.  She is so adorable, those little sharpei ears on her head.  I just love her.  I love Axl too.  I love all mu animals.

I was reading a dog's will the other day and there was a line that really got to me.

What I would like to feel is that, having once
had me in the family, now she cannot live without a dog!

That's how I feel. I loved Nala and Rocco so much and they were such great dogs that I can't bear to be without dogs around me.

Okay, enough tripping down memory lane. I've done this a couple of posts and it's time to get back to the present.....
