Just Dropped Persia & Peaches for Boarding :(

Just dropped them off. Even though I'll only be in the apartment for
another 2 hours, the apartment feels incredibly empty. I keep looking
around expecting to see Persia meatloafing on the floor behind me. (sigh)
Oh well, they love Persia and take very good care of her.

They're not really used to birds. They don't treat birds, but there's an
Avian vet on call if needed. They're always thrilled to have a colourful
small parrot around! She chirps her head off when the water runs in the
grooming room. One time she even had a company since another parrot was
being boarded at the same time

Persia yowled when I first put her in the carrier. That's to be expected.
But surprisingly, she settled down pretty quickly and was just issuing the
occasional quiet "mew" during the drive to the vet.

I'll miss them both, but I'm getting excited about this trip. I haven't
seen John in a couple of months. He asked me if I wanted to stay an extra
day. Of course! So I changed my return flight and added a night to the
motel stay.

I think the motel where we're staying has a "business center" (or so the web
site claims). If so, I may be able to check in via Google from time to time
if John decides he wants to paint or take a nap or whatever

An Avian vet? Is he an African Grey? Eddison thinks that he is smart
enough to be a veterinarian. However, Buddy the Macaw doesn't think so
highly of him and has learned to look at him and say "dodo."

Have a wonderful trip and a wonderful return.

LOL! She's a Fischer lovebird. A small parrot, but still a parrot I
was initially boarding her at the on-call vet's office until I found out
they have him on call for the occasional bird boarder. He charges $5 more a
night to board Peaches. Doesn't make sense to pay him more per night when
they can call on him if needed.

We're sending purrs that you have a relaxing and lovely time. You can
really use a chance to get a break and de-stress.

I had sorta, kinda thought she might be a peach-faced lovebird,
considering her name. Then again, Persia isn't a Persian either, is
she?

Small parrots have some advantages. Buddy bites very hard when she is
in the least upset, even though she can be extremely affectionate a
few minutes before or after. And the Severe Macaw was named for its
bite.

Have a good trip.
