Our Guinea Birds

We recently got some Guineas to help with our bug population, especially ticks. They run to us when they see us hoping for that cup of corn scratch. They are really neat to watch. As you can see, we have three white and three black spotted. They hang out all around the house and let you know if someone comes up with some squawking. They seem to be doing a really great job of eating the bugs around the place.

Fourth of July Parade in Ararat, NC

Max, Grace and I were in the Fourth of July parade for Ararat, NC. We threw out doggie biscuits to all the people we knew that had dogs or if we saw folks with dogs. Max had a lot of fun and of course, Grace barked at everyone. We drew a lot of attention with our plush snake toy on our antenna. We had a great time and saw a lot of folks we knew! Happy Fourth!

Sweetest Softest Mini-Rex Rabbit

We have one Mini-Rex Rabbit left. He is the sweetest. He does "thump" when you vacuum around his cage though. He has not gotten accustom to the daily vacuum schedule. He is as soft as he looks. Mini-Rex Rabbits are the largest of the dwarf varieties of rabbits. They can grow from 6 to 9 pounds and they main characteristics are the large ears and super-soft fur. We have one left and we have really enjoyed them.
