How can it be - my baby is turning four this Saturday. I remember when I first met Mia, she was only six weeks old and it was love at first sight. From that moment on, my life has never been the same. She is the most precious, loving, sweet little kissy face in the world. Of course I could go on and on with adjectives about how great she is and how much of an influence she has on my life, but I think you get the picture.

We had her party on Sunday because I had to go out of town. Every year she gives me that same frown when I have to put her party hat on. She likes the party, just not the hat. But somehow she knows that if she sits there long enough for us to sing and take pictures, mommy will shower her with all kinds of fun and yummy treats.
                                                                                                                         So, I share with you Mia’s fourth birthday pictures and I invite you to share your dog’s birthday pictures, too.

What a weekend I’ve had! I’ve been hiding under the bed since Friday. I only popped out for essentials like breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, supper and snacks. Oh, also for a good dig in the garden, and a few naps by the fire. Apart from these rare occasions I’ve been under the bed all the time. You should see the state of things down here, dust, fluff, hair – enough hair in fact to build another cat. What on earth do I pay “the housekeeping staff” for? Actually I don’t pay them anything but that is not the point.

Why am I in hiding, you ask. You’ve not been paying attention over the last week or so have you? We are due to go for our booster jabs tomorrow. I have been deserted by my treacherous “poncy brother” and “my stupid sister.” I am lying low until later, when I plan to make good my escape. I have devised a cunning plan. Tonight, after they have blocked the flap up to trap us in the house, I’m going to cover myself in soot from the chimney, and then under the cover… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

There has been some terrible business here today. You’ll never guess what has happened. Our confidence yesterday that “the bloke who sticks needles in us once a year” had forgotten about us was totally misplaced. The appointment card arrived in the post this morning. Before I could do anything, “the one I don’t trust” picked it up and said “they’ve got to go to the vet for their boosters next week - that’ll cost me an arm and a leg!” How mean can he be? Surely it is a small price to pay for having me live with him! Anyway, if I have my way, I’ll save him a few bob by doing a runner.

Now, should I let “my poncy brother” and “my stupid sister” in on it, or should I just leave them in complete ignorance. Probably the latter, after all, I don’t want them spooking the staff. If they block the flap up too soon, it will foil my escape. “Have you heard” said Tabby as he walked past, “we are booked in for our jabs next week.” I was aghast! “How do you know that?” I said. “Oh they were… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Greetings folks and fellow cats. Still no sign of the appointment card from “the bloke who sticks needles in us once a year“. The postman came and went this morning with no sign of it - they’ve probably forgotten about us by now. I reckon our very swift shredding of the original may have nipped this outrage in the bud. I think we can relax - I may stand down the guard. At the end of the day, us cats are just a little too clever.

Talking of buds, I heard some very worrying news on the telly last night. Something about Spring arriving 11 days early this year. Whose idea was that? Why can’t these damn scientists just leave things as they are - I was quite happy with the existing arrangements. What a load of rubbish I thought, but there it was in black and white on the BBC website. So, this morning I went out into the garden to investigate. Now, we all know a snowdrop appeared recently - I soon put a stop to that - Ho Ho Ho…. Well, another one has appeared, along with some yellow… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Hello, I am living in Florida for the winter only. I have an 8 mos old painted conure, (a little smaller than a green cheeked), and an 8 mos old senegal in the same cage. They have been together since weaning. The conure attacks the sennie’s feet and the sennie just hollers and tries to get away. Most of the time they love each other. I would like to separate them but I am in a small trailer and I would have to place a cage on top of the other. Would your travel cage, 601, be suitable for the little conure to live in for 6 mos, getting out for playtimes, of course? I can’t go higher than 15″H. Thanks, Dear Mary You are lucky to escape the cold already, it is chilly here in Chicago. RE: the birds, I am surprised the Senegal does not snap back at the conure but they all have their own personalities. I do understand about this behavior. Had the same problem with two Molucan cockatoo’s many years ago. They wanted to be together but one was always yanking out blood feathers from the other…

I’m looking for nest boxes for Suns and Parrotlets. Do you have these? Thanks, Regards Steve Dear Steven Sun Conures can likely use a Cockatiel box and the Parrotlets will be fine with either the LoveBird or Parakeet Box. Here is the bird breeding supply section link that has the nest boxes.
