Animal Love is equal to the love of a child.

Meet a baby bird. We found him on our back porch last weekend. Unfortunately, he had a brother or sister that did not make it. We had to bury him. The kids were heart broken. A baby bird had died on thier watch. So I did what every other mother would do out there.......... Loaded everyone up in the van with the tiny little bird, some grass, and some seed and headed to the vets office in hopes of a "good "outcome. We drove the 20 minutes to the closest vet open on Saturday morning only to find out that they do not do anything with birds. I beggged........ I could not tell my little ones that we lost another bird, not now not in the middle of a move from AZ to CA. They were already so confused, and sad about losing their house, their friends, their schools, and now a bird. It was very traumatic. Luckily, they headed me in the right direction to a bird rescue. So another 20 minutes in we finally found her. She had a finch mother that would take it and teach it to fly and all would be happy. The kids were thrilled and happy. We were the heros. :> Now we got nothing done at the the house that we should have been doing. Packing, cleaning, etc...... but we did save a baby bird. Feels pretty good. If I do say so myself. :>

Next meet Sammy. She is our rabbit. We have had her for about a year. She was Tanner's pet but he was a little rough for her (tying her legs together and throwing her off the bunk beds), so she lived in the laundry room. I felt so bad for her living there and not getting interacation so I moved her to the front family room. Here she has free run of the downstairs. She likes to tease our guinea pig, Bolt, but she does love to be out of her cage. She is litter trained so it works out nicely. Yes, I have a bunny, that lounges in my house. What have a I turned into to, dog, guinea pig, and rabbi. Besides the six ......oops make that seven kids if jay is around. :> What do you do? We love them all. I have to say about the pets, they are easy to clean up and feed. They never talk back and they love unconditionally. Very forgiving, no matter what. You can snip at them and they just look at you like you have lost your mind but next minute they are right there in your lap looking for affection. So they never hold it against you. Interesting. Well my friends, it is well past my bed time and I do have a lot to do tomorrow. Have a great night!!!!!
