Furbabies



I haven't told you about our furbabies, how terrible of me!! We are the proud puppy-parents to 3 darling little shih tzus who live indoors with us, and terrorize (I mean romp and play) in our house! LOL. We have Mugsy (aka Chewbaca)--top pic, who is a gorgeous little man and a total snuggle bunny. He thinks that like revolves around sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating.....and occasionally playing. Petting is a big part of his day! :) We also have Amber--top pic who is a gorgeous white with amber spots, thus her name. She is our sweetheart of the bunch....she loves to be involved in anything we are doing...she is happiest when she is "helping" around the house (aka getting under our feet)...lol. The youngest and wildest is Jewel--bottom pic, who is also a little lady. She is simply gorgeous....she's brindle like Mugsy (who is brindle all over with a black mask)....but she also has golden tones and clear silver/gray. Miss Jewel thinks the world revolves around her...she is all that and she knows it! She insists on being petted...she insists on doing things HER way.....and lucky for her, she's just adorable and gets by with it.
We also raise/breed/train Australian shepherds....and that's a story all in itself. They are full of energy 24/7, ready to play ball, frisbee, soccer (yes, we have one little lady who can play soccer, and is amazingly good at it), herding, running, jumping....anything active. I often wonder how I manage to keep a few pounds more than I want on me...oh, wait, I know, I don't spend enough time with the doggies. I need to remedy that! :) LOL.... I will post some pics of them later for you to see, too......
And...yes, there's more....we have an indoor African Gray parrot, a Congo, named Delilah. She's spoiled rotten (like all of the other furbabies at our house, they're family)...talks not-stop, makes every noise/sound imaginable....talks nonstop. She can imitate the alarm clock perfectly, and loves to do that in the middle of the night....she does a great imitation of the beep of the microwave. She can say "hello" exactly like me....yes, her tone is amazing....and she does this every time she hears the telephone ring. She whistles the tune to Adams Family theme song, theme song from Mayberry RFD (for any of y'all who are old enough to remember this)....as well as many, many others. Just a pure joy to have around.....
More later!! ......................quiltingcheri
