You know you’re in trouble when you come home to find your house looking like an earthquake might have happened that you just didn’t feel. You’re in worse trouble when you look around and realize the earthquake only happened in a few rooms and there are two VERY guilty looking dogs plastered up against the back door trying to get out before you notice. Could they look more guilty?
More moments I’m glad no one can see me. Every Saturday before I give my African Gray parrot Abdul his shower, I turn to the golden oldies music channel on TV. Abdul hangs from the bars at the top of the cage swinging madly in tune. Then he comes out, climbs on top of the cage and we dance together for at least a few songs before he goes to the shower. He’s not great on slow dancing but he’s the best partner I ever had for fast dancing. That bird got rhythm! ,,,,,hmmm, on second thought, he actually is
I think this picture says it all. No this is not one of my dogs. But it could be. This dog is owned by the person who taught me how to make my dogs understand that I am in charge in my home. Master, your pupil has learned her lesson well. By the way, do you bring your dog breakfast in bed too?

They really aren’t devil dogs…though on a good day, Blue can act as though she’s trying out for the part.

Bird TLC is holding an auction to benefit the birds. The auction will be held in Anchorage on February 3 at the ConocoPhillips Atrium from 6 to about 9 PM. The price of a ticket includes the food, a no host bar and music and entertainment by the great Mr. Whitekeys of the late, sorely missed and immensely lamented, Fly By Night Club. There will also be a variety of education birds available with their presenters. What more can you ask for in an evening’s entertainment.
We have tables available for eight at a variety of prices. The Eagle Tables
“My son” went to his prom last week. It’s nice to see kids dress in something so elegant, isn’t it? Casual is fun but every once in a while, elegance is what is called for and really works.
Bird TLC is pretty much an all volunteer organization. This means not having staff to do some routine stuff that should probably occur on a yearly basis. That would include cleaning out the mew yard next to the building. In my six years as a volunteer there, I have watched as each winter faded away and the yard went from a slightly ugly snowy wonderland to summer in Calcutta ….and not the upscale section of that town.
