Maisy and Mattie really began getting along. Mattie would be out on the front porch leisurely wagging her tail and waiting for us when I went down to get Maisy. I would let Maisy go at the elevator and she would gallop to the door. When I finally caught up to her, there they would [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

I just got an Email from Jason Crean, who I met at the Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture in Denver… in November. (I love the sound of that…) Jason has this really great product he loves: it’s tea for your bird. (More on that in another post!) Anyway, he has this very neat website: http://www.beaksbirdhouse.com/index2.html [...]

WHAT’S THE POINT? By Patricia Sund Having a parrot in your life is a puzzling existence. I suppose you could agree with the idea that they provide companionship just as a dog or a cat does, but why in God’s name a parrot? Where did we ever get the idea that having a parrot would [...]

I found this unbelievable ad on “Youtube.” I was surprised because I thought I’d seen most of the ads out there employing birds in their work, but this one is clever and stupid at the same time. It’s for a company called “White Smoke” which as far as I can ascertain, is a company that [...]
