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.

Yay perfect-match adoption! So I guess this is a family with no other pets and no plan to get any? I wish her all happiness in her new home. I've always wondered how dogs feel when they have a new family, whether they understand why their old pack isn't around anymore. My chiropractor, who had a lot of dogs, told me they understand the situation if you sit them down and tell them what's going on. Do you plan to visit Daisy from time to time?

In pet-related news, it seems I've developed a dog and cat allergy. I was just fine with our family dogs when I was young, but since I've hit thirty or so my hand starts itching after petting a dog or cat. After that it's wheezy breath, itchy scalp, then I'm fine in a few hours depending on how much exposure I had to the animal. It's weird because I have no other respiratory or allergic problems that I know of. You, on the other hand, seem to have more than your share of both while being fine with your menagerie.

Also I agree with water_soter, Rhyme and Reason are awesome names.
