Tuesday Happenings!

Happenings:
   First thing this morning I watched Charli, from 6 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. She is not feeling very well, I don't know if it is allergies or a cold, either way she is coughing really bad. I didn't even have any meds I could give her for the cough. I felt really bad for her, and naturally she fell asleep about 30 minutes before Mommy got here. Now we're heading to Sam's.

Sam's Run:
   We needed a few things from Sam's so we thought we'd make a run today. We always buy our Iam's Dog food there, it is a big bag, last the 2 dogs a long time, and works out cheaper  than buying 3 of the medium bags at Walmart. We also had to stop by the Vets and get the dogs their heart worm and flea and tick medicine too. We got a few other things, but dog food was the main reason we went. We'll probably end up going back over before we take the Grand Daughters camping on June 10th. 

Jake:
   Before we let the dogs out of their crate, when we got back from Sam's we got Jake out of his cage. Jake is our Yellow Nape Amazon parrot. Jake needed his toenails trimmed, and his wings clipped, so after we got back from Sam's, we toweled him and took care of that. He wasn't too thrilled, but he survived and so did we! We didn't get bit either, and he was back talking within five minutes.  His toenails had gotten way too long. We still have to do wings and nails on Paco, (our Mollucan Cockatoo) later, but compared to Jake he is super easy!  Usually we can just hold Paco instead of toweling him. Jake will bite you if he can get the chance, and his beak is very pointy, leaves holes, and he always bites deep enough to draw blood. Knock on wood he has gotten pretty mellow, and hasn't bitten anyone for several years. I was pleasantly surprised he didn't nail one of us though.

 Poison Ivy Woes:
   If it weren't for my hands constantly itching and driving me crazy, my poison ivy wouldn't be too bad right now.   My hands are the worst. The whole side of my family is very allergic to it and always has a bad reaction when one of us gets it. My Mom and my Brothers, and myself always get it really bad when we're exposed to it. So wish me luck getting the itch to stop, I have a feeling I'm going to need it!

Beautiful Day:
   Today was a beautiful warm sunny day. It was nice to be out of the house. It is still very nice outside, and I hope it stays that way for a few days. This post is gonna be short today cos I'm off to soak my hands in an oatmeal bath, to see if that will help the itch any, because they're itching so bad I can't type anymore. So Ya'll take care and I'll be talkin' to ya soon. Until tomorrow then...
