Maisy had very long hair, so when it rained, it was “wet dog smell” for days! So I was cautious about getting her too wet unless she was getting a bath. Wheww, Doggies! But it wasn’t so much the wet dog smell as it was getting all of that long hair dry. For the most [...]

Maisy, Mattie and I were getting into the swing of things by now. When I got home from work, she pretty much expected to be picked up and was usually waiting in the living room for me. Maisy had already been through a bout of cancer and was a miracle dog, according to her Vet. [...]

Little by little, Maisy got more comfortable with staying with Mattie, the birds and me in the afternoons and early evenings. She actually started plopping down on the rug with Mattie. Mattie didn’t seem to mind the company, although she did give Maisy an occasional “correction” to her manners. Maisy picked up on it right [...]

I recently stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA. I was there to be interviewed for an avian instructional video. I didn’t choose to stay there, it just happened to be where the Mid-Atlantic States Avian Vet’s Conference was being held. Dr. Scott Echols happened to be lecturing so that’s where I ended [...]

2.15.08 Dear Mom, My “paw-writing” is getting a little better don’t you think? Lady has been working with me on all kinds of things: like my paw writing, staying put at her side when we go downstairs, and not dumping over the trash can, no matter what. I’m getting pretty good at that. Today we [...]

At this point, I was taking Maisy as often as three days a week. She became an institution around the living room and made it a point to pick up and inhale all of the leftover parrot food the birds tossed to the floor. She was actually quite handy to have around and made a [...]

This is the #2 of the series, “Letters From Maisy.” Maisy’s character and voice continued to develop as I spent more time with her. When she first started staying with me a few days a week while Beverly was at class, she was on a very high fiber diet which made her “elimination rate” go [...]

This is Maisy. I had the privilege of looking after Maisy a few days a week for about a year before she passed away a year ago this past December. The post about her passing is here: “A Sad Day.” During that time, I got to know this old girl and she was stately, funny, [...]

This is a feather pillow. What’s different about this from your usual feather pillows is that this pillow has feathers on the outside. I made this pillow from donated molted feathers from my Bird Friends all over the country and Canada. This pillow will be winging its way to the Folks at Phoenix Landing for [...]
