This is Nigel. Several years ago Nigel was attacked by a dog (not one of ours!) and his face was crushed. He needed major reconstructive surgery to repair the damage to his jaw. Dave Campbell DVM of the Heritage Animal Hospital in Midland, Ontario, did an amazing job saving Nigel. To look at Nigel now you would never know what incredible damage had been done to him.
This is Isaac
This is Fly
This is Drifter our 'barn cat', although he doesn't really live in the barn. We installed a cat door for him so that he can come and go as he pleases into and out of the kennel area. Drifter was a stray cat that just showed up on the farm one day and has never left. We responded to the local "lost black cat" posters in the area, but he did not belong to any of those homes. He's lived here for two years now. I guess you could say he adopted us :-)
These cats are Daisy and Rupert
This is Chatterbox the cockatiel. He is 15yrs old. I've had him since he was an egg! I had the parent birds which we thought were both boys (Patrick & Gaelen) and one of them started pulling out all of his feathers. After spending a small fortune at an avian vet, it was determined that Patrick was "sexually frustrated" and that Gaelen was mostly likely a female (the vet didn't see Gaelen so was just surmising based on Patricks behaviour). The cure? Get a breeding box and let them have a clutch. And so it was that Chatterbox came to be. Patrick and Gaelen both passed away several years ago, but little Chatterbox is healthy and strong and talks a blue streak!!
