My new cousin?


Brandi Girl adopted a baby from the humane society shelter. She told Mommie Dianne that was what she wanted for her birthday. She named her Danielle and calls her Dani. A very sweet puppy with a happy disposition and a ton of energy. Doesn't even whine when she has to go into her sky kennel.

Okay, it's not a bird but I think I like her and since she was a stray, I'm very happy that she found such a good home and someone to love and spoil her.

New Perch


Sammie's old perch was "leaning" so I ordered a new one. Couldn't find any at the local pet stores so we were a little worried about it falling over.

Her new perch catches a lot of her mess and is much easier to clean plus, I can roll it into the bathroom, her favorite place.

Funny story: I have two cleaning ladies that come in every Friday and if I'm not able to be home I leave the door unlocked for them. They knock and hear my husband say, "Come in!" They are wondering what he is doing home at that time of day so reluctant to enter, knocked again. "Come in" they hear again so they entered the flat. No husband, just Sammie! What a trip she is!

Dianne

You think SHE was worried about the leaning perch. Try hanging on all day! I've got foot and leg muscles I never knew existed!

Sammie

Fix your hair!


I think Sammie is molting. Feathers all over! In this shot, she has a small, fluffy feather on the top of her head that she isn't aware of.

Dianne


That is my crown, not a feather!

A new tune


Can you tell she didn't want me to take her picture? Fluffed up to make herself appear larger so I'd be afraid.

She was singing a lot yesterday. On and on for a long time. She made up her own song: Oh, Diz, Dizzer Lou, where are you? Sang it over and over again with the same tune. She amazes me. This isn't something we sing so where did she learn it? Must be all the songwriting talent she rubbed up against in Nashville!

My daughter called this morning and I asked Sammie if she wanted to talk to Brandi girl. She made a big kissing sound. Too cute.

What are ya gonna do?


She's at it again. Killing an apple I put in her bowl. I had hoped that she was over this but no way. Made the biggest mess. I had to wipe down everything within a 10 foot radius. I called, Sammie, but she ignored me. By the time she was finished, her chest was soaked, along with everything else!

I visited an online friend while in Vegas and her ex husband was there. He's crazy about Sammie. She said she was having dinner with a friend at a restaurant and he walked in. Didn't ask how she was or the kids, just wanted to know if Sammie had done anything funny lately. Might be why they aren't married any longer!
