    I used to have 2 lutino lovebirds.  Tucan and Fruitloops.  They don't call them lovebirds for nothing, if you know what I mean.......and these two loved to constantly show each other their affection.

    Sadly, we lost Fruitloops about 7 years ago.  We still have Tucan.  This is what he looks like.....he's about 10 years old.

    Fruitloops did lay eggs a couple of times, but they were not viable....guess Tucan was shooting blanks.  hehehe!

    Good morning Escapers.  Off to town today so I'm trying to decide which balloon to take for my trek in.  Or maybe by horseback.

    Blue, my friend had 2 lovebirds and they were SO noisy.  If the conversation in the room got heated......they got louder.  I have 3 finches.  Quiet little chirpers.

    One of these "Chicklet"

    One of these "Perry"

    And one of these "Goldie"

    Sharon, you're right.  They can get very noisy, especially when they her silver hitting china.  Love the finches.  I've always had canaries too.  Just love animals.  We've had a rabbit for years now.  We found him in the backyard.  He has blue eyes so we know he was somone's pet.  I also have a shih tzu and tropical fish.  My place is a zoo at the best of times.  hehehehe!

    Hey Blue....animals are better than people.....MOST of the timeWinkThat's why I love 'em so much too. Better watch your rabbit close......Easter is coming up, and somebody may try to adopt him/herTongue out

    Goldie is a yellowbreasted (or orangebreasted, can't remember) waxbill.......I couldn't really find a pic that looks quite like her.  She is as big as a minute.  I too had a rabbit for years "Mrs Bunny", quite the imaginative name eh?  A very quiet pet but she was a nasty little bunny.  Lived like a Princess though.  Funny about the fish.  I was looking at fish and tanks the other day.  I think I'll give that one some thought.  I've got one dog too.

    Oh Coonie........what a sweet picture.  For a second I thought I was on the cute thread.  My bunny was black and not sweet at all.  LOL, I'm sure that's why she was rescued.......someone likely got tired of her attitude and let her go.  It's a wonder my DH hasn't done the same with meTongue out

    We named our rabbit Pesky as in "pesky wabbit".  lol

    I forgot to mention Dante (Yorkie) and Virgil (Fox Terrier) that my SO is holding onto until I finish up with some tests.  They are both tiny...toy breeds. My shih tzu's name is Dahlia.  She IS a pretty flower.

    Hey Jo, I bet his momma thinks he's cuteWink.

    Blue, I hope you get your dogguses back soon.  (If doggus is singular I hope I'm using the correct plural for the word ;))

    Lovely road Coonie or is it a path?  It looks like it might lead to an enchanted forest.

    I don't Jo Embarassed but I imagine it's famous for something because years ago I remember doing a puzzle of that exact picture I'm sure.

    Howdy doody escapeesTongue out

    Hey Sharon-----you're a puzzler? My mom LOVES puzzles!!! She's been working on a 500 piece one all week and just about has it done. And it's teenie tiny pieces too.......whew!

    That is a beautiful place Jo!!! We actually usually stay in Pigeon Forge. I kinda like to be close to the outlet mallsTongue out I don't think I would want to go when there are so many people either. Have you ever been at Christmas time?? It's so pretty! Sharon, you should come down and go there. I'm sure you could find you some banjo picking....nice little cabin in the woods....coffee.....ohhhh I wish I was there NOW :)

    This would be your view from your porch...of course, the Fall colors are really pretty, or even if there's snow!!

    Oh Coonie, I could escape to that porch any time.  It kind of looks like a martini sipping porch tho.

    Are those the blue ridge mountains?

    Well, I put in great smokey  mountains, but I imagine you could slurp whatever kind of drink you want to from that porch.l I'm guessing it would be a most relaxing escape. We could listen to some pickin and grinnin.....
