My Other Baby (Peaches)

Will, I belong to the DUH club too. I thought Peaches was a cat all this
time.

Kyla, I hate to break this to you but, if you are in anyone's KF, that
means they don't, for whatever reason want to hear from you. Sending a
message as you asked could get someone else who was just trying to be nice
added to that KF.

Just an FYI, Peaches (the Fischer lovebird) is doing fine in my
brother's
care. He's not a stranger to birds but he's used to parakeets, not
parrots.
And lovebirds are most definitely parrots, albeit small ones

When we spoke last weekend he said she was going through a fussy
phase.
She'd eat the heck out of some fresh kale or spinach one week then
turn
her
beak up the next. Ditto broccoli florets... started off not
interested
then
suddenly they were the best thing since sliced bread. LOL One week
she'd
chow down on slices of apple (she's very picky about them, they must
be
Fuji
or Gala apples otherwise she won't bother), then she'd ignore them.
Heh,
that's normal. Who wants to eat the same thing all the time?

She doesn't appear to be missing Persia (or me). Persia doesn't seem
to
miss her, either. This is probably because they didn't pay much
attention
to each other to begin with. There's only one time I know of that
Persia
really missed Peaches. They were both being boarded. Someone left
the
door
to the cat room ajar while cleaning Persia's kennel. She escaped and
went
looking for Peaches. It was merely to assure herself she wasn't the
only
one stuck in that place

I miss Peaches But it's nice to know she's healthy, and happy,
not
pining away for me or Persia. Frankly, with everything else going on
it's a
relief not to have to worry about her, too.

I was wondering how she is doing. It is good to hear that she is
healthy and in good hands. If she lived near us, she could send any
apples she wouldn't eat to Buddy. Buddy loves apples. And almost any
other foods.

Boy, I'm really out of the loop.
I didn't know Peaches was a bird. I thought Peaches was a kitty.
Silly me. DUH!!
Be well Jill My clowder is purring for you.

Could someone please send PamS , Jill, and CatNipped a copy
of my post 'You are Special' as I think I'm in their KF's?
Thanks so much
Hugs to all

Yes, with the health problems you have had, its probably a blessing
that Peaches didn't make the trip with you.

But if Peaches had been here, too, Persia may not have stayed under the bed
for a week

I've thought of you several times as I've been carefully peeling the
lovely tomatoes I've grown. I can't eat them if I don't peel them,
and have to limit eating them even them. I remind myself to be
grateful I can have them al all.

Thanks! I haven't been buying tomatoes (or even jarred spaghetti sauce)
because I can't be bothered running them through a food mill to remove the
seeds. I know, I know, no one seems to know are are seeds bad or good.
Makes perfect sense to me that they'd get stuck in the diverticuli and cause
problems for someone like me. So if I want tomato-ey something I just
doctor up plain ol' smooth canned tomato sauce

I know the feeling. Its a good thing I have tomatoes to waste. I try
to get the seeds out in addition to peeling them. That usually
involves eating them standing over the sink with a paring knife and
peeling, the slicing off the seedless flesh and it gets pretty messy.

Right now I have a huge bowl of ripe tomatoes. And still can't locate
the food mill.

Guess its time to remind Charlie how expensive those gadgets are and
threaten to buy a new one. (He has a nasty habit of putting things
'away' where I can't find or reach them)

Heh..I like Jill and Persia although not fond of - to put it mildly -
avians generally, but I always knew Peaches was a bird. All this time I
have
stayed in wonderment that Persia hasn't figured out a way to have her
for a snack....
Will, you have posted a gem of wisdom here, providing "end-run" is in
the intended vocabulary, highly unlikely.

Ah, I see what you mean Thanks. No one from here is in 'my' killfile,
except for the long gone t***ls

If the Broncos are in *your* vocabulary, have a strong purr for them
when
they take on the Raiders soon in "back-to-back" tv games. They are
even worse than last year (injuries, loss of former PK,RB,TE and WRs.
They
need any purrs they can get these days. Shanahan looks like stroke
material in the preseason losses.

GO Broncos Wonder if they'll ever play the Seahawks?

Glad to hear that Peaches is faring nicely in your absence.

I guess I always knew she was a lovebird. In fact, I thought it odd
that she wasn't a Peach-faced lovebird, with that name. And that
Persia isn't a Persian. But Bear is in fact not a bear, so who am I to
comment, even though I do. And I named a black puppy with a prominant
white snowball on her chest Snowball. She spent the next sixteen years
growing around that white spot and making it more and more
inconspicous. To spite me. She had quite a sense of humor. And people
thought Feather was a wierd name for a cat, although neither Feather
nor I minded.

Peaches has a lot of peachy feathers, though And Persia told me her

I wasn't complaining. Oddly enough, I am about to reread (that it is
in my "to be reread soon" pile) _Adam's Task_ by Vicki Hearne, where
she writes about naming animals. I am just finishing _Animal
Happiness_ by the same author, so I will probably read one other book
in between.

You continue to surprise me. You read a whole lot more than I do
AFA books, fiction, etc. but we are all SBS (and Squidward) devotees.
However, I couldn't quote anyone except Plankton.

We keep the Cartoon Network on in the living room when no one is home,
so that the parrots will get a good education. I have it on right now
because SpongeBob is one of the best things on TV. My quote was just
what Squidward happened to say right at that moment. I'm saving it in
my quotes collection, though.

Plankton is a great, although microscopic, villain. And Patrick is one
of my heros.

I'm so glad to hear that Peaches is doing well! I think of her often
when I read your posts. Thanks for the update.
