and food

me with the hosts

their back yard

Mike and VIv live in an apartment building in Capitol Hill that hosts animal lovers. In their block they have ferrets, a bird paradise (which follows below), rabbits, and cats and dogs. They are good friends with their neighbors upstairs, who have the bird paradise, and I spent a good amount of time there meeting all of the birds. These women don't mess around when it comes to their birds. And the talking! Those birds talk up a storm! And they were so outgoing!

Party People

Simon-touch-my-belly

I probably spent a good twenty minutes with this guy. See his come-hither paws curling? You look at him and he purrs. We spent some quality time together.

And Chloe too!
