Willie Was Different by Norman Rockwell

Willie the wood thrush is awkward and different. Deep down inside, though, he knows he is a genius. So he leaves his family behind to go out into the world. He meets Miss Polly, the town librarian. He discovers his musical genius while singing along with Miss Polly’s flute. Soon, fame finds him. But will acclaim and admiration make Willie happy?

Cooper enjoyed this book. It was a cute story and the illustrations were wonderful. She didn’t understand why Willie would give up being a celebrity, though…

Cooper’s Compadres

Meet Eliza!

Eliza lives in New York with Craig*.

I found Eliza through petfinder.com and adopted her from a local rescue shelter a few weeks ago. The elderly couple that owned her previously could no longer take care of her. She is a four year old tabby/Abyssinian mix and pretty much the most perfect cat on the face of the planet. If she isn’t moving from window to window (planning her escape?), she’s in my lap. She is the epitome of a lap cat. Any lap will do too since she’s extremely friendly and warms up to anyone willing to give her a rub and a scratch.

*Today also happens to be Craig’s birthday – Happy birthday Craig!

Ozzie Update

Ozzie is doing great! We can pat his tummy and we’ve trained him to step up on our fingers. He’s very vocal and loves to chatter along to music. The water faucet also really gets him going.

At night, when we put the cover over his cage, he hops right up on his swingy perch to go to sleep. He’s so cute!

His tail has grown in and he’s put on a little weight. He’s still a tiny little guy, though. Ozzie’s quarantine is finally up. His next step is to move in to my office, where we’ll start taking him out of the cage. Then we’ll introduce him to Cooper and Dewey.
