Seriously losing count of our animal tally!
Back on the 19th May I wrote a post with the title of Then we were twenty-three!
That post celebrated the arrival into the Handover household of three Koi.
However, since that day the three Koi have not been seen; not even a tremor on the surface of the water. We doubt that they have survived.
Jean found a rather fancy bird cage in a secondhand store the other day and a couple of days ago the cage became home to Mr. Blu and Mr. Green, a pair of Parakeets, or Budgerigars in English speak. I know many feel uncomfortable about having birds in cages but as the store assistant pointed out, these birds had been breed in captivity and wouldn’t survive a moment if released.
I have not a single jot of doubt that Jeannie will love them as she loves all our animals – with total devotion.
Learning from Dogs 
You seem to have quite a collection of animals. I hope they bring great joy to you.

Alex, they bring enormous joy to me and Jean. Practically all the dogs allow me to bury my face in their fur, either around their head or between their front paws. It’s the most purest form of unconditional love one could imagine.
The cats love a good stroke. The horses come up to one and nibble a finger or a knuckle (or stand on one’s foot!). The two budgies are settling in well and are getting used to Jean’s movements around the kitchen, where their cage is.
Even the ticks seem to like me! 😉

The image of Doctor Doolittle came to my mind when I read this 🙂

Wish I could think of a smart-arse answer, but I can’t. So I will leave it with a straightforward ‘thank you’.
