My Babies

Thought you might like a look at my babies. My daughter, Danielle, is nearly 18 now. My dog, Sam, was a giveaway in the local paper. He was only four weeks old when I got him. His mum had eight puppies and couldn't keep up with feeding them all. His mum is a kelpie and his dad is some rogue who jumped the fence, lol. Sammy is now three years old, but still a baby to me. He makes me smile whenever I look at him, I love him so much. He escaped from a friend's yard one weekend a few months ago and I was heartbroken. I spent all weekend walking around looking for him. Luckily, on the Monday, I got a call from the council. He had turned up on the other side of town at someone's house, so we had a happy ending. My galah is called Sidney James. I named him after the pommie actor Sid James. I always thought he was a bit of a galah and loved him in the Carry On movies. My friend found Sid at the side of the road. He was a wild bird and we think he may have been flying near the road and got hit by a car. Her hubby wouldn't let her keep him, so I got him. He had an injured wing and a bit of a head shake going on. He mended well and ended up tame and is a loved member of our family. He is a good talker and is always asking "watcha doing" and guess what, I always answer him and tell him what I'm doing. I'm sure the neighbours think I'm a bit loopy, lol.
