Wendy and I took off on our road trip from Utah to L.A., bird in tow, and the next day found ourselves at the very top of Beverly Hills. The meeting of Sunny and Mickey was only a meeting, letting us see if they would be a good match. We would tow Sunny back if it didn’t feel right. But well, it felt great. Sunny, who can be very picky about who he likes, took to Mickey within a minute. And Mickey, who has had birds over the years, said and did all the right things. We felt completely comfortable sealing the deal and making it official right then and there. And so we did.

Everyone knows Mickey as a dog person, after he publicly thanked his pups during an award acceptance speech, but here’s to hoping we hear Sunny’s name at the next Academy Awards!
