Granny's gone and done it again

[Wishing4Wings]

and as far as my memory, You see what I just did? Wanting a bird with no thought of Robert not being able to be around them.

Wanting something and going through with getting it are not the same things. You knew you couldn't have Rodney shipped anyway, but you can still dream.

I guess I should go too. I have to get up early for that ride to Seymour tomorrow .
Hope I have gas. Cant remember. If I do I can find somewhere to pick up the fish meds. They are still alive.
Sweet dreams . TTYT

Good luck tomorrow.
Sweet dreams

Good morning. Pup let me sleep until 7:05! I am thinking it will be another hot day. Have a good one.

Morning, Tom let me sleep til 8. (I asked for 9) so 4 hrs .

Have you ever been guilty of looking at someone your own age and thinking, "Heck. I don't look that old. Well, you'll appreciate this one!

I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma bore his full name. Suddenly I remembered a tall, handsome dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my college graduating class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had s secret crush on way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, grey-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. After he'd examined my teeth, I asked him if he'd attended U. S. L.

"Yes. Yes I did. I'm a Bulldog! He gleamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1975. Why do you ask?

"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely.

Then that ugly,

old,

bald,

wrinkled,

fat ***,

gray haired,

decrepit,

old man asked.......

"What did you teach????

Hubs managed to catch the leghorn. All my fam has been calling her foghorn. Sigh.

Bucky. He side shuffled at me yesterday morning but quit when I shooed him. Hopefully we can do some mass reintegration when the chicklets get big enough. By then I’m hoping for a molt from Buffy.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Did the chick get loose ?

 

[prostar]

Did the chick get loose ?

No. We did some terrorizing yesterday.

I will put an add on CL. He will only go to someone with experience that really likes birds. Rodney is what they call "cage bound," very fearful of everything and of most people. Man at what was left of the Bird Exchange said he is too old to be trained out of that. #1 did try when he first got him, but it was not enough. I will move both birds out of #1's room and give him a break from the responsibility. Got to get some of those whistling recordings. The dad where Rodney first lived was a great whistler and taught him lots of songs. #1 can't and I'm not very good, so I need to find a cd or something. The cd I got a long time ago did not have the right things on it... bird didn't respond to it at all.

A few weeks ago the girls were across the pond setting up for programming when I got to the dining hall. I was working away. One looked to the other and said “Sharon is here.”

“Can you see her?”

“No, I hear whistling.”

My favorite when I’m working is the chorus of “Sloop John B.”

I recorded the Andy Griffith show and played it for the birds . they all learned that before they went to new homes. hahahaa

We had a cockatiel who whistled that! He would also cat call and screap (thanks for that word wishing) “QUIIIIIIIIIIT!” My dad would tickle our ribs and it hurt so bad, and we would laugh and cry and screech “QUIT!” in our little drawls.

I think Cassie, Star's daughter from last year.

Does she need her hooves trimmed?

Not quite as curly, is she? Our baby is growing up. She's still very friendly, I hope.


We don't have room for a flight cage. I have to think this through, see how the bird acts moved from #1's room. I do have a larger cage for him. Maybe we will try it, but the man seemed pretty definite that you can't change an old bird.

Maybe he couldn’t. If anyone would be capable, it would be y’all.
