Awesome... major animal person here.... did shelter dog rescue for 37 years before I retired in 2017 and moved to TN... brought 27 of the pups we could not get adopted when I decided to retire (there was 134 in my rescue at the time)... Now down to only 4 littles and have lost many of my oldtimers in the past few years... {{sad}} as they grew older and lived out their natural life with me here... I got pulled out of retirement two years ago and we flight-nannied a set of three backyard breeders that were highly bonded from L.A. I don't speak Spanish and they did not understand English, so their rehabilitation was a challenge, but they are my best buds... I am a BIG exotic birds lover too... And my home is filled with the Holy Spirit grooving to their gorgeous bird speak.... Lots of Conures (my fav), Mourning Doves, Budgies (rescued) and a set of Canaries... Went to Florence, AL a few weeks back and brought back 15 in my little SMART car along with my scooter which breaks apart... LOVE exotic pet expos and the wide variety of birds (not a fan of reptiles, rats, etc. but birds? I am THERE). There is a huge national bird show coming up this fall in Chattanooga and I would LOVE to be able to go... My bird lady lives in KY and she asked me to take her Australian Frill after she lost his mate... My littles, my birds, my plants, my crafts and my GOD... life is great!
