Robirda
(Robirda) I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada - one of the prettiest spots on the Earth! - in one of the best areas of town
(if Vancouver was New York, it'd be called the Village) - we call it Little Italy.
At the moment I am owned by a pair of handtame society finches and a small group of canaries, most of whom apparently think
I am their own personal slave...
I have kept hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, ferrets, goats, pigs, cows, horses, parrots, chickens, geese, ducks, exotic finches,
softbills, bugs, and more in my life!
My other hobbies, when not surfing the web or playing with my birds, usually involve my nose being in a book
(I love GOOD science fiction) or else will have me ambling along a mountainside or across a local beach...
if you look carefully, you never know what you will see!
These walks often produce cuttings that will eventually be added to my collection of small trees and large plants which
overflows the balcony and the rest of the house, along with a few bonsai... if I can't live in the forest,
then I will bring the forest in to live with me, is my philosophy! :-)

Santolina
(Brenda) I live with my husband Bill in NE NC in Currituck County, the most NE county in NC.
It abuts the VA border to the north, and to the east there's the Atlantic Ocean.
I'm a secretary/bookkeeper by job description; complete goofball in reality!
And Bill is a vegetable/flower grower that sells to farm markets; previously a rural mail carrier.
Our Dogs are:
Sandy Paws - came to us December 14, 2004: We were told she was 9-10 months old when we brought her into our
household. She's a walker hound/lab mix, 55 lbs full-grown. We adopted her from a family that had adopted
her from the Elizabeth City NC shelter.
Sandy needs room to run (we've clocked her at 35 mph and she hasn't broken a sweat, so to speak), room to
hunt and to protect. She reminds me of our late Jen-Jen (another reputed walker hound/lab mix). While Jen-Jen
looked more like a predominate lab mix, Sandy is definitely a predominate hound mix. She is a sweetheart.
Hoosier Daddy, yellow lab, male.
Born December 24, 2004, we got him on 1/26/2005 when he was but a few weeks old. He was neutered on 1/5/2006,
and is a sweetie pie, too, who weighs in at 105 lbs.! He berfs at strange traffic (good dog!) and "picks" squash,
cucumbers, and whatever else DH is picking from the fields. (The back yard is littered with his pickings, including tomatoes.)
We have 4 cats:
Caliente ~ is a tortoisehell who was running around the courthouse. I told animal control that if they could
catch her, I'd take her. They caught her in October 1998, and I took her! She's probably nearly 3 yrs old;
Magic (MagiCat) ~ a black, Long-Haired female who was also in the truck! We had Phoenix neutered, and then Magi came
up pregnant and gave birth to 5 kittens (4 lived) in early 2000. I found homes for two of those kittens, and still have 1:
Wahlid a/k/a "Wally," ~ (male)
We also have 3 lovebirds.
As for human children, my husband has two lovely daughters from his 1st marriage, and one has
recently made us proud grandparents! :)
Interests: Pets, gardening, herbs, wildlife, reading, cooking, canning & preserving.
One of my favorite sayings: Live much, laugh often, work hard, give freely, pay on time and be kind. (Hope I can live up to that!)
All of our animals adopted us, were rescues, or castaways. We're a happy, grateful bunch to have each other.
