Introducing Luna

[momenteller]

So my 9 year old daughter asks me almost daily if I've posted pics of Luna yet. I guess I'd better do it already! I'd like to introduce Luna, our black velvet we adopted in January. She's almost a year old. She is most often referred to by her nickname "Piggy", because she makes a huge mess in her cage nightly. Her favorite place to perch is on her food bowl, so when I got tired of her dumping her dish over every night, I got a coop cup that attaches to the cage. Now she sits on top of that and poops in her food. She hates to be held or given scritches, eats a huge mound of hay every night, practically swallows treats whole, loooves her dust baths, is extremely clumsy and always entertaining!

We love her. :heart3:

Luna is beautiful! Having an ebony it always amazes me to see those white bellies on black velvets. I also love the picture of her with your daughter. They look so cute together.

Thanks all! Yes, every pic I have of Livvy holding the chins she is just glowing-- she is such an animal lover! Luna, however, lets us know she is just barely tolerating the photo shoot... what a stinker!

[momenteller]

thanks for the bath photo, i love watching chins "change colors"

Me too!
When we decided to get another chin (okay, I decided, rest of family was forced to agree) I either wanted a black velvet or a violet. This way I sometimes have both!

How could you hold out on us! Luna is beautiful! I love the pic of her in the dust bath! She almost looks like a violet chinnie LOL! I don't know about that sweet little girl holding her though--she doesn't look like she likes Luna at all LOL!

 

[momenteller]

Thanks, and I won't hold out on you again! Lol

For good measure, here is the pic of Livvy holding Chelsea, our mosaic. Same glowing face! I guess if I want to get a natural smile out of her for a photo, just have her hold a chinnie!

Very pretty chins and even more beautiful daughter. I use a ceramic 'hooded' bowl that attaches to the side of the cage for my chins that re-arrange and like to pee/poop in the dish. You can get it at Petsmart in the parrot section. Foster and Smith's have it also (they are a pet catalog place)

 

[momenteller]

Thanks Barb, I didn't realize they made ceramic dishes like that! Although part of me would feel bad about taking away her throne...

she can still sit on top of the dish but she wouldn't be sitting on the food

I think this is what Barb was talking about: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/12654/product.web

I bought one and left it with my ex and the older chin when I moved. I think that dish, beside the chin, is what I miss most of the stuff I left behind. (Sure don't miss the Ex!)
