A Sad and Happy Day

Mango was killed a few weeks ago by our foster cat (she somehow got inside the house without us knowing). I miss him a lot, the way he took baths while I did dishes, tried to eat anything he could get his beak on, and how he talked to me.



A couple of days ago we got another lovebird. Onyx is happiest with a friend. Morgan is our pied lutino lovebird, about 10 weeks old now. He still has pinfeathers on his back. He loves to cram himself into any space he can, whether it's my armpit, under my hair, or behind a pillow. We'll have to make sure we don't squish him!

More Murphy!

This is a picture of Murphy, posing in a little pine needle basket I made for Mom's birthday. I made it in time for her birthday, but not in time to send it to her!

I had to take about 15 pictures to get four that were really good. She was a wonderful model in that she stayed in the basket, but she kept looking around and washing her face!

Murphy's about 2 years old now. She's a perfect little hamster, loves to explore and eat treats. When she gets tired and wants to go to bed, she lets you know by nibbling on you.
