More Presents!

The budgies got some fun toys for Christmas. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. The budgies were in constant action and I took them in the evening (I don’t like to use the flash).ozHere is Ozzie (who is moulting – again) next to the “starburst”. This toy was a definite hit.dewDewey seeing what all the fuss is about.coopCooper hard at work untying the knots.toyNo one would go near this toy – but I’m sure once they figure out it won’t eat them, it will provide lots of fun.sunSunny claiming the “marshmallows”. When she’s busy elsewhere, the other budgies sneak in a nibble.milletThere was feasting on millet and lettuce as well.sp3I had a gift to open, too! These little budgie salt and pepper shakers were from my friend, Craig. They’re so darn cute (almost as cute as the real thing) – thank you Craig!

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!
