Vacation and a Heat Wave

6/29/2012

 
Picture
Mommy and Daddy went on a vacation this week, which meant we got a vacation with our grandparents this week too! We stayed with mommy's parents and boy do I have them trained well. Sleeping late, neck rubs, music all day, and all the popcorn we can eat. Grandmommy is retired so we got the royal treatment. It's like a trip to the birdy spa!

Mommy and daddy did come home yesterday, though, and we were happy to see them. We love visiting, but we missed them and were glad to see them back, nice and relaxed after a great vacation of their own. Chloe really missed them. She had a bit of seperation anxiety. I tried to assure her that they'd be back and she should enjoy this as a vacation of her own. She had a bad day Tuesday but did perk up. And she pouted pretty good on mommy last night too, but today she seems to be ok. She's not even pouting as bad over her bath tonight, probably because it's so hot! It was 109 degrees today. That's a new record! I don't like baths but I don't know - maybe I won't protest my own bath tomorrow TOO much.

Mommy and daddy are doing a good job keeping us cool. Fortunately, they got a spiffy, brand new HVAC system last month, complete with a 10 year warranty. The ceiling fan is on, and we got some nice, cool apple slices for supper. And the sun is going down, so maybe it will cool off a bit tonight. the weatherman said not much, but anything helps.

Well, it looks like mommy is almost ready to make our Jiffy Pop. We always get Jiffy Pop if grandmommy and granddaddy give us a good report after a trip. Of course, they always give us a good report ;)

That's all today. Happy Friday to you and try to stay cool!

Luv,

Zack

A Day at Home

6/23/2012

 
Picture
Mommy and daddy are spending a day at home with us today! They've both been very busy at work and said they wanted to stay here with us today to play with us and to rest. We slept late, played, and now we're taking it easy. It's so hot out and the bugs are so bad that it's nice to stay inside anyway.

And Ollie's birthday is tomorrow! It will be 2 years since he came to live with us. We have gifts for him. He's going to be so happy!

I like it when mommy and daddy stay home with us all day. It's so rare, because they have to work 5 days a week and then there are chores and errands to be done. But they wanted a day off and decided to take it off with us. Hooray!

There's no baseball game on today, so I guess we'll watch a movie or something tonight. I'm going to preen so I'll keep looking fresh and pretty all day long.

That's all today. Remember that you must be mindful of your grooming in the hot, summer weather. Sticky feathers are disgusting!

Luv,

Chloe

About Daddy

6/16/2012

 
Picture
I thought I'd tell you a little bit about my daddy, with Father's Day being tomorrow and all. Boy oh boy, we sure love our daddy!

1.    Daddy likes Star Wars. He likes Star Wars a lot and has since he was little. We sure do enjoy playing the new Knights of the Old Republic game. The Sith are our favorite! And when he does read, he reads Star Wars books.

2.    Daddy likes the University of South Carolina football and baseball. He's a huge Gamecock fan!

3.    Daddy likes technology. Well, what do you expect? He's a computer technician!

4.    Daddy likes to watch movies. He especially likes science-fiction and fantasy. We have Netflix and he loves it.

5.    Daddy serves on church council at our church. Well, his 3 year term will end in December. He was the youngest person on council for a while (not anymore - they have recruited more people in daddy and mommy's age range recently). He even redid their website at www.mttaborlutheran.org .

6.    Daddy's favorite colors are purple and blue. He prefers purple but says that can be difficult to find sometimes, so he has a lot of blue stuff.

7.    Daddy is sweet to the outside birds too. He set up a bird feeder system and checks it every day to make sure out outside friends have fresh food and water. The birds around these parts are well taken care of. I think they all know and love him! Perhaps it's because he's a good man and animals just love him.

8.    Daddy also loves his new car. That Mazda 3 is the first new car he's ever had and he takes very good care of it (well, he takes good care of everything. Daddy's very responsible). Mommy says that car's more tripped out than the Starship Enterprise. That makes me cackle.

9.     Daddy has the power of being tall - he's almost six and a half feet tall! And mommy is short (only five foot one). She said that when they got married, people told her there were no heels on the market that could help minimize that height difference. And they couldn't. He had to duck to do the cake and toast at their wedding reception. (I only know this from seeing a video, as I wasn't hatched yet when they got married in 1998.)

10.    Daddy takes good care of us all. He's a good man and he's humble. If it weren't for him, we'd be crazy from mommy's constant silliness. We couldn't have a better daddy!

So there you have it - a little bit about our daddy. We love you daddy, and hope you have a happy father's day!

Luv,

Zack, Chloe and Ollie

It Must Be Summertime!

6/10/2012

 
Picture
It must be summertime! The days are  longer. The AC is on more. Mommy and daddy are watering the plants outside (when it doesn't rain). College baseball is going into it's final weeks and daddy always seems to have a game on. And mommy and daddy have time off coming up soon. Hooray!

I like summertime. It's a happy time and the whole world seems to come alive. It certainly seems more festive - the people and animals are happier and seem to have more energy. The warm weather is nice and longer days mean Ollie has more time to sit in the window and serenade us. Ah, summertime!

I know the calendar says summer doesnt' start for another 11 days, but it seems to me that it's already here. Let's enjoy it!

That's all for today. Take care and enjoy the best season of the year.

Luv,

Zack

Our Green Cheek Visitor

6/7/2012

 
Picture
We've had a visitor the past couple of days! The folks at daddy's work found a green cheek conure in a tree Tuesday. The poor thing was so scared - it was raining, cold, lost and hungry. The bird, which mommy called Sweet Pea, stayed with us the past couple of days, until someone else daddy works with could pick him/her up today. He really wants a bird and said he'd be willing to keep Sweet Pea until they find the owner or, if it's a case like Ollie, permanantly. He's had birds before so he knows what it's all about.

Sweet Pea did ok here. Funny thing was, she loved Ollie's singing. Yesterday she would squawk if Ollie quit singing! That went on until dark, when she got sleepy.

Sweet Pea left around 5:30 today for their new home. We hope she had a pleasant stay here and will remember us fondly. But most importantly, we hope she has a great life from here, and that she either finds her original home or finds joy in her new home. And by the way, Sweet Pea is not the bird's real name, nor will it stick. The gentleman that took the bird said he would think of a great name for her. I'm glad we could be a blessing to her for a little while and help her along the way.

So we've had an adventure the past few days! Wow, how exciting. But it is good to be getting back to normal too. Adventures are good, as long as they're in short spells - if you know what I mean.

That's all for today. Take care. I hope you have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a great weekend. Stay hydrated in the warm weather.

Luv,

Chloe

College Baseball

6/1/2012

 
Picture
Oh boy, it's the NCAA Regional opening round! I love college baseball, especially in June. I hope the Gamecocks get another national title. That would be nice. I remember that mommy and daddy were watching the final games in the series when they adopted me two years ago. It's so exciting, especially when your team is doing well.

Daddy likes college football but I personally like baseball better. The Gamecocks are playing Mahattan now and I've been singing through the whole game. College baseball is so exciting and we're huge Gamecock fans. Of course, mommy and daddy graduated from the University of South Carolina - so that's why.

Oh boy, the  bases are loaded and only one out! Gotta go, folks. This game is getting good. Go Gamecocks!

Luv,

Ollie
