I had to work today. (No whining...it wasn't that bad.) But this meant my little birdy would be alone all day, plotting the next places to poop.

Add to it that another of his friends buried his father today, and that the ( Read more... )

My bird keeps winning all-expenses-paid trips to the pokey.

If you remember the saga of the mattress (sorry, I could only find this entry on it), you may recall that I ended up with my original twin mattress on top of the double-sized box spring from my grandmother. Therefore, there's a ledge around my mattress. It's actually kind of nice, as it ( Read more... )

My darling little bird has been with my family for over fourteen years. For over three years, he's been our only pet. Therefore, he tends to get away with a lot of stuff that he didn't before ( Read more... )
