Love Your Pet: Ready and Anxiety (Induced) Displacement Disorder

If you remember my entry way back on April 20, 2006 I wrote the story of how Ready and Sarah came to be our favorite pals from Africa. I wrote about all the squeaking and the clamour and the beautiful yellow crest on Sarah's little head. I also briefly made a comment about Ready's pants- his Bermuda shorts! Well, sometime later on August 27, 2006 I posted a short fim in which two parrots give an interview about the importance of creature comforts.

Giveaway Extravaganza, Kids!!!

It's time for my first ever Kiwi and Friends giveaway kids!

Kiwi and Friends is giving away the above three embroidered name tags to the first fan who can correctly answer the following question:

Last summer I posted an interactive panorama of my house on my blog. In fron of my house is a white street sign with red lettering. This red lettering hides a secret message that only keen boys and girls can decipher. Can you tell me what the sign says?

Write me an e-mail with the entire message as it is written on the sign and I will send you these three beautiful souvenirs from Kiwi and Friends! The first reader with the correct answer wins!!!

The emblems measure 9.5cm by 4cm. They are machine embroidered in beautiful colors. I will ship them anywhere in the world. All I ask is that you allow me to post your name on my Blog so that everyone can hear of the winner.

Thanks and good luck.

Step up!

Last of the Great Boarders

  

Sandy and Olivia came and stayed with us for three nights this past week. We watched a lot of SpongeBob SquarePants and ate lots of candy. Sandy and Olivia slept in the guest room while Luis snoozed all alone with only wee sheep to keep him company.

Luis cooked a meal for the first time in nearly 10 years on account that Olivia was very hungry after school on Thursday. Chicken (BLAH!), fetuccini and french fries were on the menu. I didn't get any 'cause I don't eat other birds!!! Later they all shared a delicious piece of banana cake Luis' friend Jessa mailed him from Vancouver. Luis said it was the best he had ever had. I couldn't have any because I am allergic to walnuts. Nuts!!!


Texas was the charm of the day and the kids got to watch Texas devour a meal worm and they all had their picture taken with Texas and Zoë.

I will post more pictures later.

Step up!!!

Gettin' Sacked

Ta-dumm! So looking at the bright side of getting fired, Luis is soon to be without a job and soon without a good reason not to take dictation and help me write this BLOG. Always looking at the bright side of life kids. Lets hope Luis can find a job soon so that I can continue getting my treats!
