Hi my name is Dee . I live in Oklahoma , yeppers right smack dab in the middle of tornado alley . I live in a town so small that someone on the east side sneezes and someone on the west side says bless you . I am married for 14 years to a workaholic . I am a stay at home mom who works online and loves being home with my kids. I have 3 grown kiddos and 3 still at home . I was a single mom for many years and worked all the time with the three older ones so my husband and I made the decision 6 years ago it was time for me to stay home and enjoy raising the last three and not missing a thing with them .I am an avid gardener. That is my first passion , after my family of course.
I have had many birds over the years and have always wanted lovebirds . For my birthday this past month my daughter got me a pair and with a cage and stand . I am a member of a gardening site and posted pics and everyone thought they were so cool . I could not decide on names for them , so I took suggestions and we put it to a vote . They were named Romeo and Juliet . I love those names.
I also have 2 cockateils named Ozzy and Harriet . Harriet is the mouthy one and loves to sing and whistle . She can do the wolf whistle , call the dogs ( we have 4 and all have a different whistle to get their attention ) , she whistles the entertainer tune that she heard on television too . She and Juliet chirp away with each other all the time . Ozzy will chime in from time to time but is not a real sociable bird . Romeo chirps when he can get a chirp in edgewise .
Romeo and Juliet are dark green with black heads and yellow necks. Juliet is larger than Romeo and has a bit of orange around her neck too . My daughter says it looks like she is wearing a necklace . Harriet is gray in color with splashes of white here and there . Ozzy is an albino and very tempermental .
Yesterday Romeo opened his cage and took to flight around the house for the first time . It was funny to watch him . Harriet and Juliet told on him by squaking for me to come see what was going on . He would not come to me and land on my finger like he does from time to time in his cage . I got a soft towel and draped over him and then gently got him back in his cage .
I have 4 dogs . Minnie Mouse is the oldest , a 12 year old miniature size Chihuahua . She is the princess of the bunch and rules the roost . Xena Priscilla is a 6 year old pitt bull and lives out in her own part of the yard . She is well behaved and stays in her pen unless called out . Orphink Stink is a 22 month old 1/2 chinese crested hairless and 1/2 chihuahua . He got the Orphink part of his name because the lady had found homes for all of the pups but him. My daughter flew home from Georgia with him for me for mothers day . If you have any experience with the frequency a crested has gas you know where he gets the name Stink from . LOL . The baby of the bunch actually is my sons dog , a 6 month old, what we call a chesteranian chug . Puff is chinese crested , pomeranian , chihuahua and pug mix . What a combination . He is the local thief . Watch your shoes , socks or whatever might be small enough to fit out the doggie door and under the deck out back . We figure he has 4 pair of slippers , a tennis shoe , a couple sandles , numerous socks , and we can only guess what else stashed under the deck .
I have the gift of gab in case you have not figured that out already. If I get a bit long winded just tell me to hush , ok !
That is my life in a nutshell.
