Pets past

Awww! It's a picture of Caramel rat and her new buddies! This was sent to me by her new owner in an email update on the little bugger. Turns out she's got a new roommate that looks just like her. Caramel's in the middle, there's Shrew to the left and she's not sure what the new one's name is going to be just yet. There's also one other rat in there with them (she's obviously not in the pic) and I forget what her name is. The cage is gigantic and fits all four of them great. I just couldn't imagine how hard it would be to keep that cage clean and smelly free. That's the main thing I really don't like about rats, they stink. I only had two and I got tired of cage cleaning. It's great to see them all together and happy though.

I wonder how Apples and Bananas the parakeets are doing in their new home in San Diego. I had given them to the lady at work to give to her grand daughter. Last time I asked about them, which was probably about two months ago, she said that the little girl was really enjoying them. I'm so glad... I hope they live a long time for her.

I'd really like to see my conure, Leonard, that I had to give up three years ago. She was only a year and a half old. I gave her to an aquaintance at the bird store that I used to go to. Last time I stopped by there I found he wasn't working there anymore. I hope she's doing okay. I sometimes miss her obnoxious, messy, noisy ass. Sometimes. But I'm glad I gave her to someone who could provide better for her. I can only handle the small birds for now... And definately NO more pets! For now... Yes, my famous last words...
