For My Friend, Avienne, Who’s Having a Bad Week
Or month. Or year.
As you can tell by the name, Avienne is into birds. Big time into birds.
Unfortunately, she is in serious need of some cheering up. So in the comments section below, I have placed a whole bunch of bird-related YouTube links. Some of the birds are funny, and some swear. Maybe she can borrow one of the swearing birds and take it to the people who need to hear what Avienne herself is too polite and sensible to say.

About
This is a picture of Priscilla, who lived to be an old lady cat of 19 1/2 and passed away on July 21, 2008. As Dave put it the next day, she was a great cat. I was privileged to adopt her in 1994, when her first family moved overseas and decided they couldn’t take her along. I don’t know if there’s an afterlife or a real “Rainbow Bridge” or any of that. But love lives on, and so I would like to dedicate this site to Priscilla and my first two cats, Hillary and Rabbit.
Like most blogs, this one includes random thoughts and observations, but its primary purpose is to provide book reviews for animal lovers. Please feel free to add comments or make suggestions of books that are animal-friendly.

All right, let’s slap a bunch of links here so Avienne can entertain herself, and maybe her birds if they choose to watch with her.
