Old Faithful

Unfortunately, my Sister phoned me just two days ago that her dog, "Lady", has passed away and, of course, she is more than upset. She is a real dog lover and time and again has had another dog after losing one but as she is finding it harder to take a dog for a walk she is now contemplating getting a bird of some sort.

 

Well, loli, I have to be honest, I steered clear of recommending that "Sis" should get another dog as she is not able to take it for a walk due to ill health and suggested that she might find that having a Bird would give her the company that is needed. Having said that I didn't recommend a Budgie as although they're said to have a life span of 5 to 10 years all the people I know who have had one have lost them within a couple of years, so I suggested perhaps a Parrot, or the like, would be more interesting and be more interactive than a Budgie. I shan't repeat her answer to my offer to buy her a Pirates uniform if she did get a Parrot


And she could teach the Parrot all the words she used on me on my kind offer to get her that Pirates dress.

 

I know where you are on that, Lori, as a life friend of mine comes to visit me even though she reacts badly to Cats. So she stays as long as she can and and then has to go, she deserves a medal for trying! Her husband is my life long fishing companion and we regard ourselves as brothers and he, like me, seems to be immune to anything.
