anaisninjaFive days in and this month is already trying to test me.
Our little ring-necked parakeets Pistachio had a series of seizures and shook loose the mortal coil at the beginning of last week. Waiting for the other two shoes to drop, and I feared the worse when a few days later S texted me that Armando had a seizure. On my day off. They took him to the vet for blood work and testing. A ended up texting later to let everyone know what was going on, but I appreciated that S let me know first. A doesn't have a good track record of keeping me in the loop. The details A included seemed pretty grim. Hard to know if she's trying to twist the knife or just attempting to be throrough.
I've been doing everything I can to make A's job easier though. She's in charge of medicating Armando right now. I don't want her to have any excuse to take anything out on my guy. And honestly I'm glad I'm not in charge of it. I would do it if I had to, no questions asked, but I'm fine that I get to stay his safe person and he doesn't have any mixed feeling when he sees me coming.
And I was damn near ready to cry when Armando saw me coming today. He's in a iso pen in back of the sanctuary, so not a familiar place. But he saw me, rummaged around, and found a twig to show me. Because I always ask him to show me something good.
He's feeling good enough that he wants to show me something good. I'm feeling better about things already.
