I'm so glad to be participating in Krissy's shoot again. I have been having camera dilemmas. Praise God it's fixed now. Taking and sharing pictures is great fun for me.
This week's challenge is "My Pet" . . . right down my alley, LOL.
We have just birds and dogs here right now. Our cat went to live with Andrea and her sister north of here in the mountains. Also, all of our fancy birds have gone, but we are raising cockatiels. Currently we have two babies. The parents, Summer and Skipper have been a pair for over 9 years now. They seem to be slowing down a little - last clutch was just one chick - Atticus. This clutch was 3, but one of the smaller chicks died. That's when I removed the other tiny chick so she would not suffer the same fate. Below is a picture of both together . . .
As you can see, there is a great disparity in sizes. We haven't named the big one yet (have any ideas?) but the little one I call Tumble. When she eats, she stretches way up and sometimes tumbles over ~ she's very funny.
This time last year, we added a couple of Pomeranian pups; Coco and Precious. Most of you have seen Sammy, our Greyhound and Kessa, our death row doggie. Below is a pic of our Pommies:
That's Sammy's tail dividing them. Precious (black) is "my" dog. I love her and spoil her like crazy. Coco is Andrea's dog. He will probably live with her very soon.
Blessings and love to you all,

Question. I may have to start handfeeding one of my babies.First how much?(i have the food but lost the instructions) Next how often.(Born 1/30) One more thing. Can I place the baby back in with the other 2 and the parents in the nest after feeding it or must I keep it separate? The newest one has red eyes.
How about "Trible and Tumble"? Or "Tuffy" for the big one. Or something that goes easily with "tumble" it sounds so sweet (tweet!) Good work, you're such a tender, caring mom! Great pix. xoxo CATHY

Oh how I miss our cockatiel who died of old age. We've been wanting to get another but, at the same time we want to make sure someone is home to be with them as they truly are social birds. Tumble sounds adorable!

I've always wanted birds. Love your pics.
