JULY 2008
This is Mercury, he's a gray cockatiel. Dave drove to San Diego, CA to rescue him, in 1999. He was 3 months old. The woman that raised him, was dyin', waitin' for a heart transplant. It didn't come soon enough, so we rescued Mercury. He was a funny guy, with lots of antics and also problems.
He suffered from severe "fright molts", and would drop lots of his feathers. He learned to talk and to whistle tunes, I taught him, mainly army marchin' tunes.  He never ate a lot, but always looked atad overweight. I think he had birth defects.

We still mourn Mercury, who passed away in July, 2008. We think a heart attack or massive stroke. He was fine all day, eatin', talkin', etc. When night time came, I covered his cage with his night cage cover, as I do with all the birds. An hour later, I heard him fall from his perch. He was dead that fast. He's now buried with other critters who have taken the trip across the RainBow Bridge.

Squirt was a Bearded Dragon. We had since she was about 4 inches long. The owner was gonna kill her cause she had been born without a foot, so he couldn’t sell her. She was friendly. We had been doctorin’ her eyes and mouth for an infection for about 2 months, but she had somethin’ else wrong that caused her death.

We gave her 11 wonderful years, and she gave us more.

Each dog has special talents and all are in varying stages of trainin'. The trainin' varies from obedience and service, to tricks and playtime, using a combination of techniques, which is determined by the personality of the dog. Trainin' is done with various treats, clicker, praise and just plain huggin'. Groomin' and good nutrition is essential. Exercise and play are very important to their development, bonding, etc. Consistency and routine are important to all critters.
