A TIMELESS MORNING!!

Actually, he is not mine, but my daughter's. I just have the pleasure of cleaning up after him. Do you have any pets, Rick?

Lol! Now, that could be.

I think his name was GLUM, or GRUMPY, or FOUL, or something like that.

Not currently. I'm a cat and dog person. Nothing exotic as a Macaw.

Actually, I'm a let someone else own it, I'll just visit person.

Wow, Mrs M, your macaw is just beautiful! I have always wanted a macaw, but my partner doesn't much like birds, so the avian part of my menagerie is all outdoors and I don't feel that it would be fair for a macaw - they need a lot of interaction.

I have (at the moment) nine siberian huskies, three large parakeets (two gold mantled and one pennant's) and around two hundred budgerigars.

Now I ought to go and re-read the discussion on how to post graphics and put in a photo of one of my dogs....

I was out this evening with my wonderful new camera (bought by sniping, of course!) and took some lovely photos. Watch this space.

SS.

OK, here goes....


Did it work?

SS, go to villagephotos.com and put them on first. It is free and easy to do. Be sure not to compress and make sure you reduce them.... the first box, I type in 340 and click the second and it is automatic. Just kind of follow it through. After that copy to your clip and do your thing here and paste the image.

You can sing that using the Twelve Days of Christmas.

WOW - I'll say you like animals. Maybe you should be called Noah.

How many jobs to you hold to feed that many animals, SS? Is it warm where you live?

rsmiller40

WOW! That's a lot of pets!
I am the manager of a large veterinary emergency and specialty practice here in Wisconsin.
I have been working with animals nearly all my life.

Right now because of my hectic schedule I only have pond fish. They are easy keepers!
Just a little food once or twice a day, minimal interaction and no hair on the sofa!

Pets sure do enrich our lives, though. The human / animal bond that I witness everyday with our clients is an amazing thing to see.
Really touching.

Aww, that is a sweet pix. I had pets when my kids were small. Everything from racoons to horses to hounds to cats, but I just don't have time for it anymore or want the mess, I suppose. It drives me crazy just checking On my daughter's Macaw. I clean up after it several times a day.

Hi you 2. Just popped in. Have fun.

Does that mean you are "poofed"?

rsmiller40

That was nice of Rick to pop in and say "hi".

Hopefully one of these evenings he can stick around awhile and chat with us a little longer.

It was really nice to see SS join the forum this morning.
I am glad that she has found us to be pleasant and talkative.

How was your day, Mrs M?

Yes, I thought it was nice of SS. I just cannot imagine all of those animal to care for and feed! I just picked a bag of food up for Keko yesterday and it was thirty dollars...How was your day?

rsmiller40

My days are somewhat hectic. I am responsible for 65 staff - 16 of them specialist veterinarians.
Our hospital is very busy - 24hrs / 7 days a week seeing emergency cases and specialty procedures.

I am in the process of having a website designed and newsletter published for our hospital.

I love my job, but it can also be a constant source of stress for me.

Its always nice to come home and relax. Home is where I find my relaxation and enjoyment.

I enjoy collecting and eBay is a great source for my collectibles and antiques.

I also enjoy visiting on the forum with you.

Did ya's miss me????

Bet ya didnt even notice I wasnt around did ya's??? NOOOOOOoooOOOOOOooOOO I bet ya didnt!!

Dont start me on animals....I lurrrve animals!!

We have...Big Dog called Clyde, Moggie named Ebony, Goat called Gunston, Horse called Ming, Cockatiel called Joel and a Heiffer called Heiffer or Missy (or various other nasty things when she runs off down the road). Next I want a little pig.

Thats the menagerie.

Hubbie would like another dog, but that will have to wait until we do some fencing. Clyde is 4 and very good at hanging around the house, I would hate to get a new puppy and have it out on the road.

Ohh I can ramble...see what happens when I dont come in here for a day??? I have too much pent up waffling.

Anyways...better go beddie byes

YOu said ALL of that and now you are just going to trapes off to bed..that's it?? Hmmmm

rsmiller40

I thought you would all be tucked up in bed

**edited - i'll tell ya later Mrs M
