Kiwi just seems to look better and better with each photo post ;) Yay head dunks and food!

kily07 July 2 2009, 17:20:19 UTC

Her feathers really are growing in so nicely :)
The "long" ones (wing & tail) still come in weird though.

> Yay head dunks
She hardly ever took baths on her own when she was naked.
I guess having feathers really changes things :)

It's going to be soooooo funny when you have to start saying HE for Kiwi and SHE for Lychee.... :D

kily07 July 2 2009, 17:22:10 UTC

I know!! XD
I'm really really hoping that they're both boys :)

my roommate keeps telling me that it would be weird if they are both boys since they're so bonded with eachother....
and I keep telling her, "I'm from San Francisco! we love our gays!" haha

Weeeelllll, Lychee sits low and wide, JUST like Sunshine, and the vet and her behavior say female, though I've not had her DNA sexed.... Heeee!

kily07 July 2 2009, 17:48:35 UTC

ahhhhh!!! stop tormenting me!!! lol

i will laugh hysterically if lychee ends up being a BOY
and sunshine ends up being a BOY too >:D

No, I totally understand! I mailed Jasper's feathers in on Monday, and the waiting is killing me!

kily07 July 2 2009, 17:45:50 UTC

phew! I'm glad it's not just me with this anxiety! hehe

we're probably going to have to wait till next week to find out!
Will Jasper still be "Jasper" if he ends up being a girl?
(btw i was one of the ones who voted for Jasper.. woohoo! haha)

lindabcs July 2 2009, 18:18:42 UTC

Yes indeed, it will be Jasper regardless of what the test results come back as. Did you call them to get an account number? I don't think I have one, or at least I didn't see it on the packet they sent me. I have it checked as 'email me' for the results though, so it's not like that would make it go any faster though... I would just check their website obsessively. Realistically, I don't think I expect to hear anything until Monday with the holiday though. (sigh)

kily07 July 2 2009, 18:23:32 UTC

The account number was on the envelope of the kit they sent you.
It was on the address label.

I have the "email me" box checked too :)
but I'm still going to obsessively check the site like every few hours haha

wow 20 years!!
you guys must have been GREAT parents! :D

life without them still feels weird.
Is it too quiet? :)
I get scared when it gets too quiet in my room.
When I'm on my computer and notice that there's no "talking" behind me, I start calling "Lychee? Kiwi?" hehe

I looove the flight pictures! And those skewers do look like a good idea, I never thought of that!

kily07 July 2 2009, 17:47:03 UTC

aren't the skewers awesome?
I got them here:

They're a bit pricey, but you can use them for food AND toys... pretty nifty, right? ;)
