their talons, which is probably the hardest
thing anyone can do; they hate it.”
Macaws — and most parrots — are
known to live longer than their human
companions, and Davis explained how
she and Michael have planned for the
birds’ 80-year probable lifespan. “We’ve
already worked that out with other family
members,” Davis said.
The girls
Sandy Hinners is usually a bit tired
when she returns home to Ranch El Dorado
each weekday from her job in downtown
Phoenix, but there are three “girls”
ready to welcome her warmly. All three of
her golden retrievers have a special bond
with Sandy and her husband, Frank, now
on assignment in Alaska, where the Hinners
used to live before moving to Maricopa
in 2002.
“The dogs are our family,” Hinners
explained, while Emma, 14, the Alpha
dog in the household, stretched out for
a nap, ignoring Lacy, 6, and Samantha,
3½, who was born with just one front leg.
“She runs as fast and takes corners just as
good as the others,” Hinners says.
Two of the dogs were rescued, in effect,
by the Hinners. “Sammy was sheltered at
Arizona Rescue, a Phoenix facility, and
we adopted Emma in Alaska, when we
found out she was literally living outside
on the ice, kept on a leash attached to a
clothesline.”
<strong>Morgan</strong> Vanderwall takes a break from her duties as a business owner and mom to
two toddlers to cuddle with the household’s most important pet, Neiko, 3, a happy and
energetic blend of Shih Tzu, terrier and Chihuahua.
