WE FOUND A HOME FOR DAISY!

[attackfish]

A couple of days ago, an eighteen year old college student called about our Daisy girl, and Mom grilled her, and grilled her, and she was just perfect.  A few years ago, her parents both died within a year of each other, and ever since, she and her brother have lived with their aunt and uncle, where she will be living until she graduates.  Her aunt and uncle are just as happy as she is to be getting a dog.  She plans to become a social worker, and her cousin is a dog trainer.  And when Mom took her to their house, Daisy bounded right over and cuddled into her on the couch.  We couldn't be happier with the home we found for her, even though I miss having her around.

It's very nice though not to always keep her and the rest of the dogs locked away separate from each other, and not to have to worry all of the time that we'll slip up and someone will be killed.

Also, I have two new cockatiels to keep Sully company.  They're sisters from the same clutch that their owner wasn't able to keep.  I've named them Rhyme and Reason.  They've finished their quarantine and are settling in beautifully, and I'm working on hand taming them.

LOL that is so cute. It's like they're kids! It reminds me of parents singing their children lullabies over the phone.

And I did not know about how food and shampoo could cause allergies. That is good to know, thank you. The kind of havoc cats could wreak on your family is both scary and sort of hilarious. Maybe Koreans traditionally had the right idea in finding cats creepy (though they are increasingly popular now). They were our allies in keeping rats at bay, but I don't think they'll ever be "ours" the way dogs are.

*pets them* Exactly like, I think.

Also, as yesterday reminded me, flea and tick medicine can also be an allergen (seriously, I thought I had a kidney infection, was all set to drag myself to the ER until I figured it out.)

I love cats. As I said, they go gaga over me, and it's hard to argue with that level of affection. It seems cultures go one of two ways, either cats are mystical and holy, or they're creepy, no in between.
