my life has just changed.
i now like pets.
i used to hate them.
yes, i'll go that far.
i will give myself a bit of an excuse:
i'm an allergic person who has lots of sensitivity to fur etc.
but.... still.
my heart isn't really there when it comes to petting a dog or thinking a kitten is cute.
sorry!
but........
my heart has had a shift.
i love my bird.
never knew this was possible:
love for an animal.
most of you will now be thinking i'm nuts,
but its just the truth.
i try not to tell many people because if you don't like someone's pet, offensive!
so anyway,
cosmo has been sitting on the same perch for about 4 days straight..... he's freaked out.
and today when i tried to give him a spray-bottle shower he flipped out and kind of hopped/flew out of his cage.
probably out of utter fear,
but hey.
he stayed out for half an hour!
we're making progress.
he's still a little timid.
accept and receive.

It's ok, Shan. People everywhere, all over, love pets. It's not weird. I am thinking about getting a pygmy goat and loving it to death. Now that is weird!
(03.12.10 @ 02:55 PM)He is so stinkin cute!
(03.12.10 @ 09:05 PM)as much as I don't like birds... I think he might be the cutest bird I've ever seen.
(03.12.10 @ 10:58 PM)also, Ellen: Eli wants a pygmy goat too!
(03.12.10 @ 11:00 PM)2 of my friends want a goat???? wow.
(03.13.10 @ 12:59 AM)I don't have very deep feelings for dogs, but cat's are great! I also love canaries - your bird is the best kind for you. Enjoy loving him/her??? which?? love ya, gr ma
(03.13.10 @ 10:14 AM)Hi again, Shannon....I read your news about Cosmo and see that he is a he! You have a "he" in your life now....gr ma
(03.13.10 @ 10:16 AM)Another thing we have in common- our (past) hatred for pets. I am still not completely out of the dark when it comes to LOVING furry thangs, but I trust I will follow in your footsteps...
For example- the last photo of Cosmo make me want to get a bird and cuddle with it..WHAT? I now, love Cosmo too.
(03.13.10 @ 10:16 AM)shannon! i feel the SAME way about pets! and i'm TOTALLY an allergic person, too.
(03.13.10 @ 12:54 PM)Silly human. I was reaching for the camera. Next, I will let you think you've won my affections by standing in your hand. We'll see who, "Can't hold the flash."
