Harry and I went to the Del Mar race track on Saturday.
I picked Capo Bastone in the 7th race to win.
Mostly because the jockey was wearing Cooper/Dewey colors. You can’t go wrong with blue, black and white.
The camera battery died, so I didn’t get a shot of Capo Bastone in the winner’s circle after he won. I found this one on the internet. It was very exciting!
I won $7.50! (well $4.50 after the $3.00 bet). What should I do with the winnings?? Maybe buy a parakeet toy…
“Bluebird” by Paul McCartney and Wings.
We don’t always get Cooper’s (or Dewey’s) photo right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.
* Due to the photographer and through no fault of the models, of course.
This month we have three books. We’ll Always Have Parrots, Cockatiels at Seven and The Real Macaw – all written by Donna Andrews. These books are from the author’s Meg Lanslow series about a crime solving blacksmith. There are other bird titles in the series, but Cooper wanted to read about the birds most like her. Unfortunately, the birds are not the main focus of the books (in Cockatiels at Seven, they are merely mentioned), which was a let down for Cooper. She liked the cover art, though, and thinks the next book should have a budgie title.
I was wondering why there was more bird seed on the bottom of the cage than in the feeder…
Looks like Cooper only eats her favorite seeds and and throws the rest over the side.
Cooper weighs 1.4 oz. That’s .2 oz more than she weighed in January!
Dewey weighed in at 1.1 oz.
