    Wisconsinite Checking In

    My name is Elizabeth, but my closest friends tend to call me Liz.

    I currently reside in SE WI.

    I share my home with 2 cockatiels, Riley, a pied tiel, and Bailey, a pearl tiel. Riley's going to turn 9 on the 25th of the month and Bailey turns 7 on the 4th of March, exactly 1 week after Riley celebrates his hatch day.

    Riley came to me via the now defunct Petfinder Classifieds (his owners, professional photographers, re-homed him because they found him to be too noisy) and Bailey is from a local breeder.

    In addition to the cockatiels, I have 2 dogs: a 5½-year-old white and black Phalène (drop-eared Papillon) named Dane and an 11-year-old white and red sable Papillon named Leia (Lay-ah). Both are rescues. Dane was adopted from PapAdopters (he's actually a foster failure) and Leia was adopted from PapHaven.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Nice to meet you and your animal family. How wonderful that your babies are mostly rescues.I had a Papillon once upon a time. He has long since passed but was one of the cutest little dogs I ever saw, so full of love of life and energy.
    I too am looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all about Riley and Bailey .

    Thank you.

    I've also been involved in rescue work myself.

    I grew up with German Shepherds and have also owned several Keeshonden as well.

    I've come to really like Papillons though and am not sure I'd ever want any other breed. They're such a terrific little dog.

    Sure thing. I've already posted their photos so everyone can see my lovely fids.

    Busy, yes. Amused, yes.

    And there are times I'm even annoyed thanks to Riley. He knows how to push my buttons when he wants to and he seems to like doing it.

    Bailey, on the other hand, knows she has to stay on her momma's good side. She never annoys me. She knows better.

    Don't get me wrong, I love them both to death but I can't dispute the fact Bailey is the really well-behaved one.
