To You From Your Birds, Dogs and Cats

	The Gremlins Were Messing with Mom Again
Happy Holidays that is what everyone has been saying. I'm happy all the time. Mom has been really upset. She says that the Gremlins have been playing on her computer. Thank goodness it is not one of my feathered brothers or sisters, and it certainly wasn't me. :0 Mom had a lot of work to do and then the Gremlins came in and did that stuff on her computer. She said that it had to go into the shop because it needed to be reformatted and that she did not know which ones to dismantle (she has 2 additional drives). NOW MOM IS HAPPY. Dad and her picked up the computer, dad put it together, Mom worked on it for a little bit, but then dad had a meeting and Mom could not concentrate. She said it was ok since the files on the one drive were cleaned and ok more than half of the work she was going to do replacing them was unnecessary. She is going to be working hard starting today, something about a JV she has been invited too. Anyway, I will say Happy New Years - be safe. See you next year. Princess Penny

	Mom's been sick
Thanks mom for getting out of your sick bed to write this for us. We know you would much rather be snug in the bed watching your stories. At the present time I am trying to also catch up on some ZZZZ's. You see when my mom is not feeling well and her feet hurt on top of being sick, I have to be there for her, so that means I don't get much sleep. When she is up and down, I am up and down. Normally i catch up when she goes out in the morning with dad, but she really has not been feeling good so she is home. Sebastian, JJ and Sushi are mad at me. They think I have been hogging all of mom's time. She has not been in to see them. They down understand that mom's cold will only get worse being around them. There are only birds you know. Besides I don't want mom's cold either so I am with her but at a distance. Dad went back to work. He was sick - Truth be told he gave it to mom. She didn't like that. But she keeps telling him no kisses for me or my feathered brothers and sisters so we can't catch his cold. I won't tell mom that I have been sneezing a couple of times. OHHHHH NOOOOOOO now she knows. She stopped typing long enough to go get the thermometer and baby asprins oh no Dr. Mom is on duty. I sure don't want to be dad when he gets home. She said if I have a temperature, she is going to get him. OH NO Mom don't hurt dad, I'll have to nip you. You know I don't want to but I can't let you hurt him. Well I hope my mom gets well really really soon so I can get a good night's sleep. come back soon.

	Mom Thinks We Are Funny
Hi this is Princess Penny and all her feathered brothers and sisters human Mom. Penny said it would be alright for me to tell a little story today. Well, I just finished re-reading all the posts that have been made on their behalf, and I have to apologize for the typos that I have found in some, but sometimes they are a little hard to understand. JJ does not quite speak alot of English. Roger and I still have not figured out what language he speaks. Sebastian he laughs all the time. He is really a happy bird. And a singer. Did he mention that he makes songs up as he sings. Robin and Kiwi, well you really can't understand them unless you are really close. Sebastian taught them how to whisper, only once you get them really close to your ear....they scream bloody murder, then run. They think it is a game. Robin sometimes tries to sing with Sushi when Sebastian and I make music for them. It is kind of cute watching them bob their little heads while they sing. Kiwi has no rhythm and can't sing a lick, and could not care less. He is most happiest when he is either sneaking into Robin's house to eat her cookies, or when he is on Roger's shoulder. I should say that he is sort of happy on Roger's shoulder because most of the time Robin is up there with him and one of them, like most brothers and sisters do, will start a fight and since they can't bite each other they will turn in unison and try to bite Roger on the back of his neck. Little nips. Sushi is just as loud and noisy as the Kiwi and Robin except that she only has a few words and she repeats them C O N S T A N T LY. All day, every day over and over and over. But Roger loves her. She pretty much became his special bird after his very first bird Diego crossed over from a breathing problem. Then there is Penny. What can I say. She is a really sweet dog, who sometimes wishes she was a bird. "No I don't" , Penny hollers in the background. One of the best things I can say about her is her caring manner in which she takes care of me, particularly at nite. I have a medical condition that cause me to be in pain, and some nights more than others. She is right beside me, watching that I don't get to close to the stairs, or she will come into the office with me, while I get on the computer, or if it gets really bad, she will leave her bed with Roger and come downstairs and sleep on the recliner with me. I believe she would have made a great Therapy Dog. She has a knack of knowing when it is bad. I often feel bad that she is not getting any sleep, but then again, she then has a legitimate reason for sleeping all day. lol Getting back briefly about re-reading the posts. They are really funny. I know that Penny dictated them, but I only barely remember them because of trying to concentrate and get it all down just the way they are telling it. I think I want to talk to Penny about maybe making a recording of her and her feathered brothers and sisters story. I think there are quite a few dogs and birds who would get a charge out of them. It might help one or more of them to find something to laugh about if they are lonely, or hurt and abused. It might lighten their day. Well this is turning into a really long story and Princess Penny is pacing back and forth, because she knows as soon as I am done, I have to get back to work and she won't have time to talk with you. OK, Penny. She told me to tell you that her secretary (that's me) will be almost finished with the book she has been telling you all about quite soon. So be on the look out. She will let you know when it will be released. Say goodbye MOM! Goodbye everybody. Thank you Penny. Well since she took up all the time we had, I guess we will have to wait for Mom to have time to type for us. Treat your 4 legged and feathered babies with love and respect and they will do the same for you. unless you have a JJ, then you have to treat them with patience Mom says. Until next time........Woof Woof

	Sometimes my Daddy is Stingy
Prince Penny here. How is everyone? Listen don't get me wrong my dad is one of the most generous humans I know, but when it comes to deserts - It just aint so! Last night mom let me have just a little of her Pumpkin Ice Cream. It was creamy, and cold and did I mention Creamyyyyyyyyyyyy. Anyway, when mom's was gone I stood in front of dad, my dad, my loving dad, who would do anything for me, and I got squat, nada, zilch. Mom and I looked at dad, so he gave me his bowl --A F T E R he was done. What's that suppose to be! Huh. So I decided not to talk to him for awhile, well at least until tomorrow night when we eat dinner. Mom's cooking a really good dinner and dad will share with me then, I'm sure of it. Right?

Hurray Their Back!!!!!!

Mom and Dad are back. Princess Penny here and do I have some stories to tell you. Yeah, their home and they are not going to leave us like that again, I'm sure, when they hear all about my near misses with those 3 BIG MEAN CATS they won't leave us again.

Aunt Joanne took care of my feathered brothers and sisters. Papa Howard and Mom Kass took care of me while Mom and Dad were gone.. They had me stay at their house cause it was raining really hard and for a long time and Papa Howard said that he did not want me to get wet. Phooey, he did not want to get wet either.

They brought my bowls and food with them but I would not eat. I guess I thought that if I did not eat they would call mom and dad and they would come back home. NOT!! Anyway, they forgot that dad puts gravy on my food. When they remembered, Mama Kass made some really good gravy but I still wasn't eating very much.

Want to hear somethin' funny. One night Papa Howard thought his big cats were growling at me, but they weren't, it was my belly. Mama Kass went to the store and bought me some dog food in a can, it was ok, but my belly feels funny. Now that dad and mom are home they will fix my belly.

I know that because dad is taking me for a hamburg. Now that he is home, that's what we are going to do. He said we were.

Anyway, while sitting on the computer, Papa Howard put a towel down for me to sit near him. He showed me some funny pictures he took with me in it and put them on mom's face-book so she would not miss me. When I got down to get a drink, those mean mean cats got up there and when one got down another would get up there just so I could not get back up. They are so mean. I don't like cats.

Speaking about cats, I told you about Papa Howard's 3big Mean Cats before. Papa Howard brought up one of his old dog crates so I would be able to sleep and the big mean mean cats could not get me. They want to hurt me, but Papa Howard always manages to be right there to save me. At least most of the time.

One night I was so scared. I could not get to Papa Howard cause I was in the crate. There was a cat on each side and one facing me and they were hissing at me and the one's on the side were banging on the crate. They were going to get me. Well Papa Howard heard me crying and when he came down and heard them making all that noise, he must have thought it funny, cause he was laughing when he told mom and dad. Mom looked at me like she was saying she was sorry. Maybe next time I can go with them.

There are more stories, Mom needs a break, and I have gone and scared myself just thinkin' about what those Mean Mean Cats wanted to do to me. So Until next time, maybe JJ or Sebastian can tell you what happened when Aunt Joanne watched all of them.

See You Soon, Woof Woof

	I was right - they're leaving
Princess Penny here. I told you all that Mom and Dad were up to something, and I was right. JJ is really upset cause I was right. Mom and Dad are leaving. They came and talked to all of us together and individually. He is really mad. He did not want to come out for his shower. He told me if he does not listen then maybe the will stay home until he does. I told he was stupid. Now I have to watch my tail, literally, around him. He does not like being called stupid. Told you the little ones don't care so long as someone is coming to feed them. Sushi just keeps saying hello, hello, helloooooooooooooooooooo Sebastian seems to be ok. He knows mom and dad are coming back, but JJ might act likes he's mad, but I think he is scared. "Yes you are JJ." He thinks they might not come back. "They will come back JJ, they told me they were only going away for a couple of days and it will be better for all of us when they do. They said that things are going to be better and we will have lots more treats." He'll be ok. I know I will cause aunt Joanne, Nicole are coming, and Papa Howard and Mama Cass are going to help aunt joanne take care of me. So we will be fine, I know we will. They'll be back. Right?

	Mom and Dad are up to Something
Princess Penny here. Me and my feathered brothers and sisters know that Mom and Dad are up to something. We can hear them talking sometimes, and there is an air of excitement and apprehension. JJ thinks they might bring another bird into the house to keep, but Sebastian and Sushi said they wouldn't dare. They would go on strike and I think they mean that LITERALLY !! Robin and Kiwi said they will go along with the majority, cause they don't really care so long as somebody feeds them. Me, I think they are going away. I heard them say something about Aunt Joanne coming to visit us everyday for about 5 days. That's a really longtime. Anytime she comes to visit - they go away. Not that we don't like Aunt Joanne cause she is really neat. She brings us all TREATS and she stays to talk with us, and sits outside in the back with me for awhile. Yea But there are some restrictions when she and Nicole her daughter come. I sometimes have to stay in my house/kennel cause the can't always come at the same time every day and this way there's not much in the way of me messing up the house or anything. What do they think I am some dumb puppy or something? If they are going away I hope that they ask Poppa Howard and Mama Kass to come and take a look out for me too. Mama might even bring treats and take me for a walk. That would be great. She really doesn't walk - it's more like running cause I'm really really tired after one of her "Walks". Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pant, pant, :o) Mom's getting excited. She keeps talking about some kind of a meeting. No I think she called it a conference where her and dad will talk with a bunch of people about their business on the computer machine. Big deal, why do we have to stay home? We would love to meet new people. OH, I know why! JJ might want to meet them up close and Personal. lol NO I WON'T I PROMISE, he just screamed at me. It's not my fault he doesn't trust people. But I guess we have to stay home because this seems to be really important to Dad and Mom. They believe this is going to really help them continue to do WHATEVER they do on their machines. Well I'll keep you posted on what is happening over the next couple of weeks. Bye for now. Woof Woof

I'm Sorry by JJ

I publically apologies to my human Mom. Actually she is being really really nice typing this for me. Anyway, things have not been real happy in my house. Mom talks to me like normal, but I keep expecting her to get mad or something. When will I try her? When will I realize that she doesn't want to hurt me - not really. I know I said she wanted to hurt me that last time, but I think that was just for a minute. I saw her stop and just look at me. She seemed so hurt that I did that to her.

She came to stand beside my house the next day and told me that I am making it real hard for her to keep her promise. (Her promise was that I have a home for life) What will I do if she doesn't want me anymore? I have been making kissy sounds, she smiles but she really does not talk to me like she did. OHHHHHHHHHH what was I thinking that day?????????

Dad loves me still, but even he was upset with me and told me that if mom told him that I have to go, that as much as he loves me, he loves mom more and would have to find me another home. OHHHHHHHH Mom I don't want to go. Did you hear me mom - I know your typing, but did you hear me " I DON'T WANT TO GO" I'm Sorry. I'm really really sorry, and I promise that I will TRY NOT to bite you anymore. I realize I can't promise that I won't bite anymore, but I do promise I will try not to. OK Will that do it. Will you love me still. Please!

I know you love me - you just don't trust me anymore. I know I have alot to do to gain it and I'll try really hard to work on it. Just don't leave me ok. I was really liking you giving me rubs on my head. And I really liked it when you would let me sit with you, though I never gave you any indication that it was ok to give me big rubs - you respected that.

I'm sorry mom. Will you forgive me?

Your son JJ

	I was a Bad Boy
Hi this is JJ and I was a bad boy this morning. I don't know if mom will ever talk with me. I told you about me before in earlier posted blogs about how I was abused and how mom must remind me of the bad lady. But I sure love my dad, but after today dad might not want to talk to me either. Mom has been feeling pretty good about us over the last couple of weeks. I give her my leg to go take a shower, I've let her pick me up to sit with her - she was really happy about me letting her do all that only this morning........ She wanted my foot and she could tell I was not feeling that so she stopped and a few minutes later I kind of moved closer to the edge and started to lift my foot for her only she said, "Wait JJ move over before you fall. OK now give me your foot". I did then I bit her really really hard. I mean I bit her really really hard. She grabbed me by the beak to make me open my mouth, only I did not feel like it. She finally got me off. There I am on the floor, she's really upset and crying and I'm still mad so I decide I'm going to go after her, you know chase her, only she takes her slipper off and tells me don't even think about it. Teresa wants to hurt me - I can tell. That's what that other lady looked like - of course I bit her too. Anyway, I start taking my beak and banged on the floor and she takes her slipper and bangs on the floor to. What's up with that. So I banged again and so did she. Doesn't seem to phase her that I want another wack at her. She stood her ground. I sort of backed off first cause I never saw Teresa not be afraid. Dad started to pick me up, but Teresa told him I was not in the mood so he left me alone. He was really mad at me. He started to holler at me and Teresa told him not too. That I already knew what I did and that she was really upset with me. Human's I just don't understand them. I bite her, she gets mad, stands her ground, then tells Dad not to holler at me. She told him that she was not sure if it was her fault of my fault. Now where she got that from I don't know. She said that maybe when I put my foot up the first time and she wanted to wait until I was more secure on my door or what and that might have made me mad. Whatever her case is I'll let her think it was her fault. Me I think I just wanted to bite her. She was starting to feel to confident with me letting her handle me. I tolerate her. But after today I don't know if she is going to want me around. She has always said that she loves me and that I have a home for life. That no one is going to hurt me again. But I might have blown it this time. Not sure how I can make this one up. She sure is not going to want to try and trust me. But I have to try at least for my Dad's sake - cause he really loves me - I know he does, But after today, I hurt Mom and Dad's mad at me too. WHAT WAS I THINKIN'

She has been otherwise unavailable

Hi Penny here. My secretary, you know my human mom, has been working on her business. Now is a fine time. We were on a roll here. Not that I begrudge her. (I had to say that, she is looking at me funny).

Anyway it has been a bit boring around here. Daddy Rog has been on his computer and she, Mommy Teresa has been on her's so I have been left to my own devilish devices. Did I say that. I mean I have been inquisitive.

Sebastian wants to bite me. Mom said Sebastian was raise with cats - not dogs so he doesnt like me. Since I scouped up Robin she is terrified of me. hehehehe. I mean what's a dog to do when its in their blood to fetch.

Anyway Kiwi and Sushi they could not care less about me being in the room. Now jj is a different story. Apparently he was raised with dogs and not afraid of me. Matter of fact, JJ had a nitemare the other nite and I made mom let me go check on him and I stood up on the side and pushed my nose through and JJ stuck his beak to bars down. Mom kept talking to him telling him that I was there becasue I wanted to make sure he was ok and all. It was rather nice to finally be able to get close to him even if it was through the bars.

Well Mom says I've had my 15 minutes of fame today and have to give her back her computer so I will say good bye for now, but when I get back I will have some other stories to tell you about my feathered family or my travels when I got loose........
