Sunday Shell and I went to the Pet Expo at the Big 4 Building. I brought a Safeway tote with me because I knew I was going home with major samples and goodies. Quincy couldn't get to the bag fast enough when I got home. One of the samples of food gave him wicked gassy grossness though...threw the remainder out and gave him back his normal stuff. He did like the brown bagged liver cookies though.
We went around, gathered samples etc. and I entered a contest from one of the pet insurance companies for a Flames jersey. Guess what?? I WON IT!!! The nice lady from there dropped it off at my house today. I'm sporting it now, cheering on our beloved Flames to victory..although at current writing they are tied in the second period.
The highlight of the day was holding a green little birdie (not sure what kind it was, some type of parrot..) like a baby and scratching it's little head. She then hopped on my shoulder and was giving me birdie kisses! So cute! Now, I'm not exactly afraid of birds, but as Shell has noted in her blog, I remember a time I went to her house and one of her lovebirds Blue took a fairly large chunk out of her skin. The site of blood kindof turned me off all birds. They are pretty and I've seen some interesting bonds between people and birds, but to have them fly around me or land on me, take chunks out of my face or poo on me has never been a thrill. But I get it now. The "person" that belonged to this bird had such a trust with her that I realized that no matter what kind of pet you have, the love is unconditional.
