Baby Canaries

If you look down a few entries, you'll see pictures of Richard banding some baby canaries. These are the little gaffers now! Pretty eh?

Kaeleb was VERY proud to FINALLY be able to hold a snake all by himself!
Daelin is an old hand at snake charming.

Oreo the Comfort Queen

In typical Borzoi fashion, Oreo always searches out the comfiest spot in the house, this one is full of stuffies, pillows and blankets.

Richard's newest...

SNAKES! These are Russian Rat Snakes, they are a pair. The top snake we named Juri and the bottom snake is lovingly named Babooshka. Babooshka seems to have a bit of a troubled past that we are trying to sort out for her (we are working on this with the help of my friend Annett). She strikes when you put your hand near the glass or in the cage. Richard has to be careful how he works around her enclosure. She is getting better though and we hope that one day she'll feel relaxed enough to allow us to handle her without fear. We'll keep you posted.

Taiwan Eating

Not for the faint of heart, mouse lovers or snake haters...
Nonetheless, I'm quite proud of my photography work (taken through glass!) and wanted to share... (p.s. the mouse was not fed live)


Kids & Dogs

Nothing sweeter than kisses from Clio!

Daelin and friends...

Clio, Oreo and a tangle of dogs

Here is Clio warming up to my hot water bottle, and a silly smile...

Oreo looking pensive and a tangle of whippets, where do they start and where do they end???
