nightmare

[zandperl]

I had a new second cockatiel, a male wild-type, and after I set him up with quarantine I went back to Gabe only to discover that her legs were so puffy and swollen she couldn't step up or perch appropriately. Since it was the day before Thanksgiving, my Mom didn't want me to waste family time going to the vet, but I insisted on at least calling.

With your mention of Thanksgiving, I was afraid your dream-mom was going to suggest cooking Gabe for Thanksgiving! D:

Hee, good one. :) Though I have to admit the last time I cooked a whole chicken, I kept thinking how it was just a little larger than an African Gray parrot.

Oh -- swollen pet parts are always so scary...

Glad it was only a nightmare.

Hope you're having a terrific long weekend!
