  Hey Oscar !
It got really warm and muggy all of a sudden here - I had to yell "wet, wet, wet" twice yesterday so mom would bring me my bath tub ! Then we sang songs and talked while I dried off . . . I love bath time :)

Silly Rex ! I get noisier when I'm hormonal but that's it - if mom leaves my sight I yell !

As if having to endure the little rug rat yesterday weren't bad enough - we have rain ALL week ! ! How depressing !

The baby nephew plans for the farm ? Well, it rained all day here ! I discovered one more thing - I'm way less work too ! Mom had to crawl all over the house after him. He's pretty funny though - he knows he's not allowed to touch the electronics, so what did he do all day ? Crawled over there while telling himself "no, no, no," the whole way ! Silly baby !

I'm so glad you're getting better - don't let Rex take your mommy time !

  Whew . . .
I can't help but worry buddy - I'm glad you and mom are spending lots of quality time together :)

I wanted to, but tomorrow mom is babysitting her nephew - he's 14 months old so today we Landon-proofed the house. Jeeper, I think I'm way cuter, I'm way more fun and I can TALK ! Doesn't sound like a very good to be Cookie day :(

Keep feeling better - I won't relax till I know you're 100% better ! love Cookie

  Yesterday is poured here
and poured and poured ! There rain records set ! Today had a couple showers but then the sun came out . . . more rain coming but then nice for Mother's Day. I'm thinking about making a beautiful mess for my mommy - you should just rest cause the very best present you could give your mommy is to get all better !

  Morning Oscar !
We too, have had really nice weather ! And I love the feel of sunshine too - I can't wait till July when I get to go on vacation - the summer house has a screen in porch so I get to be on my gym !

Yesterday was g'mas birthday so everybody went out to dinner . . . didn't even bring home a birdie-bag ! Can you imagine, forgetting me ? Mom made it up to me though - she air popped some popcorn :) I love popcorn !

  It's like that here too !
The weather is perfect ! In fact I've been out on the back deck in my travel cage a couple times already ! The sun felt really good on my feathers and I got to yell at a squirrel in my tree !

I'm looking forward to summer when mom is home more and we can go out everyday :)

I've got a new toy - finger traps ! They have a clothespin inside to toss around after I destroy the rest !

  I love to watch out the window too !
In the spring when it's warm I especially love to yell at kids getting off the school bus in the afternoon ! Hahaha

I heard mom say she wants to head to the bird store this weekend ! Maybe I'll get a new toy ? Or something yummy to eat ?

  What cha looking at ?
If you were at my house yesterday you would have seen an overturned garbage truck ! Who would think we'd be happy that the temperatures have been below average ? Ewwwwwww !

It is supposed to warm up by the weekend ! A new hummingbird feeder was put up in back so now I can watch for them when I'm stuck in my cage !

What are you doing this weekend ? Did mom ever end up with the GC ?

  Hey Oscar !
Our temps are only in the 50's so far - that means I can't be screaming at kids getting off the school bus yet :( Mom did switch her closets around - and then was sorry !

Pretty soon it'll be summer and we'll have lots more outdoor time though. Today we are thinking about g'mas pug, she was having surgery for a tumor. My wings are crossed she's OK, cause we're good pals !

  Did mom come home with a green cheeck ?
Birdsonally, I don't see how she could look anything besides quakers - we are the best !

It's still chilly here too for this time of year - only about 50 :( I was really hoping to be able to have the window near my cage opened by now so I can yell at the kids waiting for the school bus ! heeheee

Have you been hormonal lately ? I've been a little nippy and so mom hopes the weather changes soon too . . .

It's almost spring ! At least it was . . . then mom put her coat away till next year and guess what ? It got cold again ! But she says she refuses to wear it in April ! ! ! So there mother nature !

She also went and Cookie-proofed my food and water doors on the new cage, so now I have to find a new way to impress her with my cleverness . . .

  Wow !
G'mom's quaker laid an Easter egg ? Was it colored ? heeheehee

Don't worry about not getting by - it's been busy at my house too ! Spring seems to do that to mom. She wants to go out more now that it stays lighter at night.

Guess what ? I got a new cage ! The first thing I did was show mom that I knew how to open the food and water doors. I showed her this by dumping my water . . . twice ! Then she finally figured out how to Cookie-proof it ! grrrrrrrr

Thanks for visiting. You look cute and fluffy in your picture. If you are like my flockmate Tommy Quaker, that sort of fluffy means TROUBLE for the humans. Photon

  Hey Oscar
I had a great Easter ! I got 4 eggs from the bunny - one had popcorn in it, one had almonds, one had a bell and one had nutriberries. I spent lots of time rolling them around on the table listening to the different noises and then rolling them off the table !

Do you like baseball ? There's a whole virtual league if you're interested - you can find the quaker team page by going to the profiles button and then putting in QUAKER LITTLE DRAGONS . . . Waddles is on the team too !

It's almost Easter ! And here too, although the snow finally melted, it's only in the 40's - too cold for an Easter bonnet ! I wish mom would get one ! With fruit on it ! Then I could sit on her head and snack ! heehee

Even if we still have about 6 inches of snow on the ground ! ! From yesterday ! I think somebody should mail a calendar to mother nature ! ! !

Last night mom had to get new glasses so she was home late :( I was really hungry and wanting some of her dinner . . .

I've never tried a bath like that - I have a big sheet cake carrier that I use for my tub !

  Do you know
Mom was so NOT paying attention to me last night I finally climbed to the highest perch on my gym (she calls it the yelling perch !) and screamed "Wet. wet, wet" so she would bring me my tub ! Sometimes her priorities are just not straight !

Are you doing anything this weekend for St. Paddy's Day ? We're not - other than me ! I'm dressed in my best green !

  Hey I never thought of it like that
but it is a day for wearing the green huh ? LOL ! Can you believe it was back in the 20 this morning and the local weather guessers are saying snow showers for Saturday ? UGH !

At least it stays light later - I like that ! Instead of a 7:30 bedtime, I've been allowed to stay up till 9:00 watching tv and playing with mom :)

Our snow melted finally ! Now the sun is out - cold still but at least it's sunny :)

Last night I made up my own sentence ! Mom gave me a green bean and I put together "kiss" and "thank you" and ened up saying "Thank You Kiss" and then I made a big smooching noise for mom ! She laughed ! Then I laughed which made the whole family laugh !

  Hey Oscar !
I am soooo tired of winter ! Although when we ended up with almost 10 more inches of snow on Friday and mom stayed home, I must admit I was pretty excited ! Especially since yesterday and today were nearing 50 degrees, so mom didin't even have to shovel ! Mother Nature took care of her own mess ! Meanwhile me and mom played :) Good times :)

So between the temps and the fact that the starlings and grackles are back in the yard - I must deduce that spring really and truly is on its way ! ! ! YIPPEE

Oscar - me and mom were just watching the news and saw all your snow ! Are you still getting more ? YIKES - you stay warm buddy ! We're supposed to get more Wed. night into Thurs. but only 8-10 inches, nothing like what you have !

Where's spring ?

  Hey pal
Did you get zonked with snow again ? The long range weather guessers say we're getting one more big one - I hope they wrong ! Mom does too ! She told me she saw crocuses just starting to peek out of the ground by the walkway. That must mean spring will be here soon - right ?

At least it's Friday ! What are you up to for the weekend ?

It is always fun to watch the squirrels - the try to jump and knock down the bird feeders out back too :(

Well the storm reaches us today - but only as rain - no problem unless it freezes tonight. A few years back that happened and all the neighborhood had ice-skating races around the block - on the roads ! I watched the squirrels slip and slide on the back deck ! heehee

In fact we have freezing rain now ! I'm playing with my measuring cups - I carry one to the top of my cage and throw it off and listen to the crash and watch mom come running, or I bang one on the cage bars (bang, bang, bang) and watch mom come running ! Get the picture ? Great toy, those measuring cups !

so how much snow did you get ? Today we had freezing rain and it was icy so mom stayed in late ! She tried to get me to take a bath - but uh uh, not me ! I bathe when I want to not when she wants me to !

Mom promised to give me a bag and see what I think of it - it sure does look fun ! I love boxes - tissue boxes are the best - I'm in the middle of destroying one now !

Well, we fared well ! Only about 16 inches of snow and the power stayed on ! What a relief . . . mom was outside clearing a path to feed the outdoor flock and they were all sitting there watching and waiting for thier breakfast :) Very cute !

Because of the state of emergency, cars aren't allowed on the roads so that means quality Cookie time today !

Have a terrific day ! love Cookie

That looks like lots of fun you and Rex are having with that paper bag ! ! I'm going to have mom get me one too !

Well, we're hunkering down for today's storm - being just north of NYC, we're in the blizzard warning area with 18-24 inches of snow heading our way ! As long as the power stays on I'm OK - I've got plenty of food and toys ! I think the humans do too !

Have a great day :) Chew some for me :) heehee

I've been hormonal . . . I haven't let mom out of my sight for a couple days - I scream every time she leaves the room ! So it was good news to hear that we're in for 15+ inches of snow on Friday ! That should keep her at my wing and talon all weekend :)

We are having a heat wave in NY ! It's going up into the 20's later today ! At least there's been no snow since Friday night - the plows woke mom up - now she wants a different bedroom that doesn't face the road !

Did you find the Puppy Bowl on AnimalPlanet ? After I had a bath (and soaked mom !) we watched some of it while we talked and sang songs . . .
