Woo hoo it’s Friday and the weekend is almost here. It’s another cold morning. I guess it hasn’t really sunk it yet winter is basically here.
I was up most of the night, tossed and turned so when I heard Ava barking this morning I got right up. I am not sure what she barks at but she insists on doing it every morning and night. Traci’s crew of four seemed to have settled in quickly. I think Chassa loves being with the other Borzoi. Wy, knows the routine as he has been here many times. Traci’s two new kids Ari and Snapple will get in the swing of things, using the doggie dogs,coming and going on their own in a day or so.
Meet Peg

Peg is a Red Sided Eclectus hen. Eclectus are one of the species where the male is a different color males are green with a candy corn colored beak. The hens are like Peg vivid red and a deep bluish purple in color. The wings can have some orange and yellow on the tips. They also have a light blue ring around their eyes. The Eclectus also come in different sizes, the Red Sided is one of the bigger sizes. The Grande is the largest, I believe. Peg has the funniest personality. She can be very amusing and loves and I mean loves all her bells. She rings her bells if you ask her too. She also says ring that bell Peg, in a very girly little voice. She does talk and mumbles at night while we watch television all the time. When she is angry she growls like a dog. Peg doesn’t have a favorite food but she has a favorite person she adores, our friend Joel. He can do just about anything with her and not get bit. If we would try it she would bite us.
