Morning at the Pet Shop




Izabella gets smothered with puppy kisses

Tuesday morning we had to stop at our local pet shop and it's always an adventure for the kids. There are new puppies at the shop and the family that runs it is so wonderful that they let the kids interact with the animals. We're welcome to visit whenever we want and feed the birds or play with the puppies.  Enjoy the photos from yesterday's visit:


This Macaw would have loved to peck the camera!


They're so cute, I'm speechless...


African Grey Parrot clinging on to its peanut. 


Alexandra is smothered in puppy love.


Pretty colors, I think this is an Amazon Parrot but I'm not sure.



So irresistibly soft and fuzzy...



Izabella feeding a parrot.


Until our next visit...

  3. That is so nice that the owners are like that. It's great for the animals and the kids! I bet they just love going there! I know I would.

    How do you resist those little puppy faces?

  5. Liz,

    Good morning! Yes, it's really nice for the kids. They want to go all of the time! I love visiting too:)
    Have a great day!


    Ivy,

    Good morning! The love visiting and it's even better than a zoo since that can touch and feed the pets.

    Have a nice day :)

  6. No harsh feelings Cheryl, but I don't like to buy pets. So sorry.

    Alexandra is just loving those puppies :)

    No harsh feelings here either, I completely understand...no need to be sorry :)

    Yes, Alexandra loved the puppies! She may get to visit with them as they get older since the pet shop owners are keeping them :)

    Have a great night :)

  8. So adorable! Puppies have an almost magical quality, don't they? They can cause instant giggles, infectious smiles, and have the power to pull one out of a gloomy mood. How "plush" their fur looks- I want to play too! I'll bet you are relieved that you already have Gigi...otherwise one of those little fluff balls would probably be riding home in the back seat snuggled up to your daughter.

  9. Biddy,

    Completely adorable! Puppies are magical-and these two are incredible. I love how they are drawn to the children. They run to the girls immediately and smother them with little puppy kisses. These puppies are plush, very soft. I'm relieved that the owners are keeping these two because I was tempted and also I'm happy that they'll have a great home.They named them Samson & Delilah! I believe this is the Greek Shepard and these will grow into very big dogs, very big!

    Have a great evening Biddy :)

  15. I was sad to read that the demonstrations have been marked by violent outbursts. Cheryl, I hope that you have no reason to go into the city today, the situation on the streets sounds dangerous. My thoughts and prayers are with Greece today as well as with your sweet family.

  16. Thank you for your concern & kind words Biddy! We're fine. We spent the day in Kozani and there was only a small, peaceful protest there. We barely noticed it. Thank you.

    Have a nice week Biddy:)
