Guest guest Posted November 9, 1993 Report Share Posted November 9, 1993 Nope, you're not alone Irene. I only have one pet, my cat, Jasmine. I love all animals and would have a ton of them if I could, but Jasmine is all I can handle. Maybe Baby Spice needs a kitty Psychiatrist to deal with her name problem? LOL {{{Hugs}}} Jacqui Re: Importance of Pets I only have a cat and I feel like I am the only one on this list that just has one pet. I can also claim my daughter's dog next door as mine as she keeps getting out of her yard and comes scratching on mine because she is lonely as they are gone all day. Needless to say my cat does not like this at all. She does have a problem. My granddaughters named her Baby Spice when they were so popular. You can imagine calling the vet for an appointment for Baby Spice Duffield. Personally I think that she is ashamed of it too. She only comes when she is called Baby never Baby Spice. I wouldn't answer either.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Pets are a big deal at our home, and I have a truley hilarious story that I thought I would share with the group to give everyone a good chuckle... First of all...We have 4 parrots, 3 cats, and a dog, so I sometimes feel as though I have a small Noah's Ark going on here. But, back to my story...Last June I had brain surgery. Although I am not normally a depressed person, but about 2 months after the surgery, when I still felt really rotten, I hit my lowest point. My blood pressure is normally way below normal, and it was incredibly hot, which made matters worse for me. I had massive amounts of pain, dizziness, nausea, imbalance, and you name it. I placed a call to my neurologist and returned to my task of cleaning out bird cages. Within 15 minutes, she returned my call. On my way to the phone, I walked face first into the wall that has been in the same place for the last 20 years. I was frustrated when I picked up the phone, and when she told me that we had to wait another 3 weeks to see if the meds helped, I just broke down and was hysterical...My Blue and Gold Macaw came waddling into the room, and crawled up on the lazy-boy with me. I was still on the phone with my doctor, and he was mumbling in my other ear. There I sat bawling...So, since I was not paying attention to him, he decieded with one snap of his beak to totally snap the strings of my bikini top. He then crawled down from the chair and went back to his cage laughing hysterically all the way and yelling " How are you? " . The doc and I still laugh today about that one. Of course I stopped my whole anxiety attack to laugh at him. How could I not. Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Yes, they pretty much have run of the house. They go in at night, and as long as I am home, they are out...They have eaten my furniture, selective window sills, doorways, lampshades, etc. Not to forget how tasty my wall borders can be.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Ha. We use the water bottle for bathing, not for discipline. There is no real way to discipline a bird. You just make them more angry and then they grow to dislike you a lot. Discipline here is more a " try to distract them with something else " move!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 << They have eaten my furniture, selective window sills, doorways, lampshades, etc. Not to forget how tasty my wall borders can be. >> Sounds like a black lab that I had for 15 years. He lived a long time for a big dog. He ate a whole couch and the back fence. He also like window sills too. I sure do miss that dog. When I was feeling bad he would always come and lie by me or sit by me until I felt better. In fact, when Duff was taken him to the vet and had him put to sleep, I started crying ad Duff told me not to and Blackie would want to help me and he couldn't walk and he had had a heart attack and he was in terrible pain. It makes me cry just thinking of him. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
