Furry Friends on the Job!

One of our previous Furry Friends, Zoey June Bug March, has a sister! Introducing Jewel Lulu Bug March. Like her sister, Jewel is a Blue Lacy that works with her humans Richard and Monique March at March Jewelers in Hurst, Texas. The 1-yearold Jewel loves to be at work and greet customers. She also enjoys playing football and chasing her big sister. There’s nothing more important than family.

Say hello to our Feathered Friend, Harley! Harley, a White Capped Pionus Parrot, is the number one attraction at Jewelry Repair Services of Midlothian in Midlothian, Virginia. Yes, he can talk, but Harley only talks to people who bring him fast food. He will tell people he loves them for French fries. Thomas Glover is Harley’s human. His sister found Harley eating acorns on her back porch in 2015. She walked out, he ew to her, and Thomas had a new employee. They’ve had parrots in the shop since they opened in 1993. Harley has a knack for nding money - then chewing on it. Thomas has had many strange looks at the bank depositing shredded cash. Visitors always ask, “Where is the bird?” He’s not con ned in a cage so you never know when he’ll show up or what he might do next.
