Thank you Deri. This has indeed been a very sad, unexpected event. I
assumed that I would have her in my life for another fifteen or so years.
I don't have pictures of her on the web. She was a gray cockatiel with
orange patches on either side of her face. She was typically colored with no
unusual features, with the exception of her outstanding little personality
which I will always remember.
I'll probably always have birds in my life. In the future I will be more
inclined to take in rescues. A lot of people get birds for pets without
realizing how much care they need and how intelligent they are. They are
extremely high maintenance for a number of reasons. Maybe over the span of
my life I can take some in that owners don't want anymore. I'll have to
recover from this loss though. This was very hard.
The Queen might disagree with you, but I feel as though we are running neck
and neck for a title that neither of us wants. At least that's what I told
her when we talked on the phone yesterday.
You know what? I think Charles listened in on the extension. I don't know
how many times I've told him not to do that. I say "Charles? I know you're
on the other line. Hang up the phone. Hang up I'm telling you! Do you want
me to come over there and straighten you out? I thought not. Now hang up!"
Yup, that's what I tell him.
