These two are silly characters.  They are really happy puppies now, but not so long ago it was a different story.  It all started at the shelter.  I went looking for a new foster, one to replace my last one that was adopted.  You see I can have three at a time and I already had two.  I walked down the isle, looking into the faces saying “please me” with their eyes and wishing that I could save them all.  I came to a cage with two very scared balls …

Kiwi is two and a half year old Quaker Parrot (Parakeet).
He is, of course, green with that lovely Quaker Gray!
And we do not know if Kiwi is a he or a she.
Kiwi’s hatch date is September 15, 2009.  He has had one owner prior to coming into my home where he is fostered.  We have paperwork, including proof of vaccination, for Kiwi.  And he is banded.
Kiwi is a really neat bird!  Kiwi absorbs attention, enjoys sitting on fingers or better yet shoulders where he can find zippers, buttons or collar …

Poppy is a male chichi puppy.  He is just about 10 months old and full of fun loving character!  He is a sandy tan and small, even by chichi standards.  He loves to cuddle, play with toys and chew little rawhides.  He is housetrained, however, with all the snow, housetraining is, well, challenging.   Poppy has a really short coat and is what I would call a southern chichi.
Poppy is in a foster home with teen-age girls who he adores, another chichi and a large dog.  He is fine with dogs …

Vincy is a handsome two year old Red Pointe Cream Siamese.  His feet look like they were dipped in white paint!  
Vincy is as sweet in temperment as he is good in looks! 
Vincy does well with cats and dogs and really likes people too.
Vincy has great litter box habits.
 He is well mannered in the house and always the gentleman.
Vincy has more of a square shapped body.  Even though he is a short hair, he does have a lot of fur – they are just short furs!  I’ve been using a cat …

6 beautiful kittens!  For want of a better naming theme, two of their names begin with R, two with S, and two with T.
First, the R’s are Rory and Rowan, both males.

Rory is white with black, shorthair.  He is the youngest of the bunch and extremely good for the camera.

He is just fascinated by the camera and stares at it!
Rowan is a medium-haired brown tabby.  He is one of the older kittens but very, very loving and snuggly.  It was hard to get a picture of him because he wanted …
