DELIGHTFUL FAMILY!!! Just delightful!!!
I keep scrolling back up and looking at your "Team of Love"....can't get enough!!
Buddy on his playstand....Millie and Cooper snuggling....Millie looking so comfy in her sweater on her bed....ADORABLE! And to get all of them resting together in the same bed...AND....sit still long enough to get a picture...PRECIOUS!!!
All so well loved, so well loved! And Buddy had the best array of toys and expansive "playground" any bird could ask for!
Thanks for sharing these treasured memories! I know it's still bittersweet, but I know it also warms your heart.
Hugs and love!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
The dogs on the bed is hilarious...all the dals then one little cocker spaniel LOL. Too too cute. The one of Millie and the cat is adorable, and the gray parrot!! Is that a fish tank and a terrarium I see in the background too? Love love love!!

Beautiful family. You have a love for the monochromatic in your babies! lol Not that I'm judging, all of my babies are currently black or one black and white (husky). Very cute. And I got a great giggle over the fur fest on the bed.
Karma, Adelaide and the crew, and our forever angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Yes, there is fish tank (with one beautiful blue African cichlid b/c he ate all his tank mates) and a 3x6x6 cage with Jewel, one of my two iguanas. Sort of another foster failure from 2005, I think--she came to me from the local SPCA & was gravid/egg bound & they wouldn't pay for vet care, so it was either take her back to be PTS or keep her & take her to my vet at my expense. Still have her and Frank who I have had for around 15 years. I have been trying to remember if I got him first or Millie first & I am just not sure.

Oh WOW I am so envious of your pack! What an awesome bunch, especially the iguanas!
P.S. You did GREAT with aligning the photos and text, even I can't manage to do that.

Wow, what a great variety of a family, I think you need to throw a mini horse in there. I love the fur party on the bed. You sound like a very caring animal lover, keep up the good work!!
Penny
OMG love her and you guys!!! That is probably the best photo of an iguana I have seen. She is absolutely beautiful. Not only do I love dogs and cats but I have a serious thing for reptiles too. We have a bearded dragon (14 years old) and recently took in a 10 yr old red-eared slider who needed a forever home. I keep trying to convince my BF to be a reptile foster but he doesn't think I could let any go.......and he's probably right :).

Absolutely love these pics of your "crew"!! Thanks for sharing them with us !!
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
LOL Penny! We do want to get a couple goats and some chickens but need to get more income going first. Have thought about mini horses, too. the gal I went to grooming school with has them & they are so cute!
Elizabeth, I have a beardie, too. The past two were rescues & when the last one died I went & actually bought one from a local hobbyist breeder. I also have 3 foster RES(that belong to that same local SPCA; I've had the girls for 3 years now!) and 2 RES plus an Eastern Paint in an outdoor pond.
Foster sliders
Beardie--he's a little bigger now
some chickens we babysat for about 5 weeks

Seriously LOVE this. I can't imagine that sliders move out of foster very fast. Ours had been kept in a tiny tank, so I got her a 40 gallon. I'd like to move her to a 70 gal in a few months. So you know I have to post pics now too 
Lily (sunning her left rear leg)....she's been with us for a couple of weeks now.
This is Rocky. He's the only pet I have ever actually bought. I was in college, she was at a local pet store...I was looking at the snakes, they stuck her on my shirt and the rest is history. She's a little dusty in the pic, she needed a bath.
