Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out,
At the old ball game.
Budgies are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.
Meet Riley!
Riley is just one of four pooches who live in Colorado with Elizabeth.
Riley’s nickname is Bubba. His favorite treat is milk from the glass that I’m drinking from – and he will beg until I give in. I always save him the last little bit because I love to watch him stick his little head all the way into the glass to get the milk. I’m pretty sure his favorite activity is being groomed by his big sister Kota, or if he’s with me, he loves to torment Dixie. He stands on the couch in my lap and grrrrs his little grrrr and she is deathly afraid of him. He also loves standing on tables and sleeping in laps.
Too cute!
Last year at this time, Cooper didn’t have a blog. So here is what happened on Cooper’s first Halloween (2011).
After carving her pumpkin, Cooper tried on some costumes
She wanted to be a slutty green budgie, but I had to put my foot down.
She went as a ghost instead.
She made quite a haul.
Someone was giving out raisins. She was not too pleased with that.
Then it was time for hot apple cider, popcorn and scary movies!
And of course, handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
I wonder what will happen this Halloween?
This cracks me up.
We recently added pellets to the budgies’ diet. I’ve read great things about Harrison’s, so we’re using the Harrison’s High Potency Super Fine Formula. After 6 months we switch to the Adult Lifetime Formula.
On the first day, Dewey was so angry at the switch he almost dumped the food bowl over. I wish I had a video of it. The pellets stay in the cage all day and we feed them seed twice a day. So far, the pellets remain untouched. But I hear persistence and patience win out in the end. We’ll see…
Hurray! It’s new toy time!
This is the “Koko Corn Cruncher” from Planet Pleasures.
This month’s movie is Mars Attacks!
In Mars Attacks! flying saucers land on Earth, but do the martians come in peace? Hardly. This alien invasion movie is humorous and quirky, and Cooper loved it. Her favorite part of the film was the exploding budgie.
Now she wants to go to Hollywood to be a stuntbudgie.
