Substitions.

So. As most of you know about 10 weeks ago I finally gave up with my financee and we called it quits. It was the right thing to do. I"m happier - to a point - at this time more so then I've been in a long time. But consiquently I am lonely. I love my cats and my little dog but felt the need of something more. The ex had a little bird called a ****atiel. Cutest little thing! I really liked the bird and I miss it. I miss the ex too but the bird was easier to replace. Well I have a customer who is a pet store and a few weeks back while talking with them I noticed they had a cage on their counter with a bunch of these adorable little puff balls. They were hand fed baby ****ateils. So cute! I asked if I could hold one and of course the minute it sat in the palm of my hand I was hooked. It looked up at me opened its mouth like I was the mama bird and peeped! Dear Lord Please dont ever let any of my customers sell baby elephants cause I just do not have the room for one of those in this little condo. This weekend "Tweety" the new member of my little family came home. Tweety is all fixed up with a carrier cage that has a cloth cover so she won't get wet if it is raining when we should go to the vets. Tweety has multiple toys and many different food supplies. She has a bedroom cage that is small too small for her to stay in every single day so I picked one up at another customer who is a 2nd hand store. Those cages at pet stores can be very expensive. The one I got was a steal at 40 bucks. It is a beautiful cage. Very big nice and heavy. Just what I wanted to be sure that my the other family members specifically the two cats wouldn't be able to knock the cage over. The cage is fantastic! I fixed her new living room cage all up with her new toys, new food dishes, and a cool tree to climb on. It was awesome! Made me wish I had one for me to play in! I had some very interested parties watching this whole process. My littel jealous dog was sniffing up a storm. The two cats had picked places on the couch and rocker to view the goings on. When it was all done I brought Tweety down from my safe room and put her in the new cage. She loved it! Hopped up onto the bars and climbed the tree then got to the top and stuck her little tiny head up through the bars and got it stuck. Little did I know I'd bought a cage that was made for a much bigger bird. Not for a tiny ****ateil. **** the birds head was stuck. It was peeping, the dog was running in circles around the cage and barking up a storm, the cats were climbing down from their spots to come help mama get Tweety out of her fix, all while I've got my thumb tryign to push the stupid birds tiny little head back between the bars. Got it done. Everyone survived. End result - thank god for mastercard had to go buy the bird cage for ****ateils at the pet store. Tweety now has a nice new cage all fixed up with her new toys. She likes it just fine and can't get her head through the bars. whew.

What a scream! Very, very funny - especially the "****" part and trying to push the bird's head back from between the bars of that cage. So much for Mother Theresa of the Animal Kingdom! Thanks for the laugh, Pam - see you tonight! M.
