Ok, with a name like that and being a dog lover like I am, it was a contest just made for me, right?

So, after reading this blog and it’s contest winners’ submissions for the past few weeks, I finally got brave and entered. I didn’t win, but that’s OK — I’ll enter again and we’ll see what happens. I can be competitive.

As per the rules of the contest, I have to include the links to the winners on my blog, and so without any more chewing the fat (or searching for the best fat burner), here they are:

    Thanks for the advice. I really do appreciate all your input. Hubby has grown up with birds all his life and I am really new to birds. His were macaws and none had problems. I can’t help myself but to rescue the animals nobody else wants. it will one day bite me. oh wait, tweak did and the bruise lasted for two weeks on my neck ;) didn’t stp me from picking her up and loving her some more.

  2. ê¿ê says:

    Me too, All my birds are rescues. Taji bit me on the boob once — that’s when I learned that he does NOT like shower baths! It only takes me once to learn :)
    I knew Riley was a biter from the get-go, but Taji had never offered to bite. He is nothing but a cuddlebum albeit a loud one.
