I loved the Otters too, and the bear and donkey.  The raccoons. All of the animals, really, except the Bison were stinky, lol.

LOL about the mall.  I was in Toronto twice for pre-op and then for surgery and couldn't believe how HUGE the malls are there, lol.  The station mall seems normal sized to me, lol.

Where are you living now?

Hi Lori; thank you.

My doctor called in a repeat of the pain killer and my Dad went to pick it up for me so it's being managed properly now.

Smokey is a lot of fun; never a dull moment with her around .

I want your bird!!!!  Omg I had no idea they were that intelligent. I'm sorry about your pup though. I think you can take a whole t3 no problem. I didn't need pain meds after two days but if you do make sure you take them. Once you get off them though you will feel even better. I think you are going to do amazing. Good luck and just follow your guidelines!!

Thanks, Monica.  My doctor called in a repeat on the painkillers so I don't need to bother with the tylenol 3's any more, thank goodness.

Grey's are very intelligent birds, social birds.  They are great talkers and they need lots of attention and mental stimulation.  It's like having a child that stays at the age of 4 or 5 forever.

When you feel better make a video of that parrot and post it.  She sounds amazing.
