The little one's Christmas bird has died. Last night it was at the bottom of its cage and barely opened its eyes or moved when I went into her room, but I don't know anything about birds so I thought it was just sleeping. Nope, I checked on it again today and it was dead.

So sorry for the little one.

There is a new bird in the cage, the first is now buried in the yard.

Sigh. Does it never end?
Got another response to my ad...from a 69 year old woman that lives in a senior park, offering the master bedroom and private bath...and sit her dog because she "travels a lot" and can take him with her. Sounds good, yes? No. Another fucking "strong willed" pit bull. What's with these old ladies and pits???

Jeez.

Can't take him with her. Damn auto correct.
I wonder why can't take him. Gosh, what ever could be the mystery? If you are going to travel so much, why have a dog???

Be sure to keep the room temp. in the 72 o 74 degree area and up or they catch a cold and die.

You're in Cali, right? Maybe pitbulls are easier to get for self-defense than hand guns.

Well at least you are getting responses. Let's hope you get one that wants you to pamper her old cat or maybe a Lhasa Apso or miniature dachshund or something.

Thanks to SFC Ollie who posted a just very slightly different version of this elsewhere:

I am older than dirt and I still have so many unanswered questions!!!! I still haven't found out who let the Dogs Out...where's the beef...how to get to Sesame Street... why Dora doesn't just use Google Maps...Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same, or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop......why eggs are packaged in a flimsy paper carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that's tough as nails... why "abbreviated" is such a long word; or why is there a D in 'fridge' but not in refrigerator... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts" where's that extra penny going to... why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs...​

saveliberty ....just wanted to send you BIG hugs! I got your christmas card today and it was beautiful. MrG and I thank you so much, hon.

It was the artsy one, so it was an easy choice. Glad you liked it. Wanting the very best for you and Mr. G in 2017!

 

[Gracie]

We loved it. Everything is so impersonal with electronics these days, so it's nice to see our names handwritten by a friend on a lovely card.
Thank you again! It made our day!

Aww. Are you going to get her another?

Kind of odd. Maybe those ladies are like pitbulls too. Thinking of you, and good luck on your continued search.

It's too bad you didn't give Saveliberity permission to share your mailing address Gracie.
Many of us would have liked to send you and Mr. Grace a christmas card and best wishes.
