Okay, I’m One-Eyed Otis Filmore (blues name), Ebenezer Cottontail (bunny name), Puff Kitten (cat name), Billy Jack Keith (country music name), Jiggly Pants (cutesy pet name), Finrod Nénharma (elfish name), Professor W. Ike Phirramid (evangelist name), Sherman Tank Pond Swimma (gangsta name), ....

Hold on, wait a second… a bird just flew into my apartment, landed on my TV, sat there for a second and then safely found his way out the sliding glass door. That was awesome! I kind of expected that since the bird feeder is so close to the sliding glass door. Weird.

Billed as an aquarium, the huge glass enclosure which forms the basin could be used in a variety of ways to create an absolutely unique bathroom feature. If your imagination isn't up to it, there's always the opportunity of waking up to splash your face in turquoise waters amongst tropical fish.

He also shared a little anecdote about Foof, a Siamese cat his family once had. His mother had brought home a stray kitten one day, and Foof apparently loathed that little ball of fluff. He loathed the kitten so much, in fact, that one day Ricardo caught him trying to push the kitten off the sixth-floor balcony.

Am I sure I want to do this? Yes, for a variety of reasons - personal and financial. Am I sure I want to do this with him? Yes, for a variety of reasons - personal and terribly romantic. Mainly I’m just terribly thankful for a beautiful apartment that I can share with a wonderful partner and a very funny cat.

Birds need room to move around and stretch their wings so you want to buy the biggest cage you can afford. You want to get a cage where your bird is able to fly from one end to the other. This is good but if you have a spare room or bird-safe-place where the windows are closed (never a kitchen or a bathroom) and it is protected from other pets such as cats and dogs, this is way better.

I have been a little remiss in my blogging this week. I'm "plumb" tuckered out after the weekend from hell. I am considering getting a divorce, and marrying my dog. Okay, maybe not, she doesn't have any money, and I'm all about the cash. Someone has to make the mortgage payments. I know the government is permitting gay marriages in our country, but I haven't heard anything about marrying your dog. I will bring that up in parliament the next time I go to Ottawa. And if anyone wants to know my hus/dog name, I will point out to them that we have a "freedom of information act", that prevents little snoops from knowing his/her pedigree, and what kennel she was born in. After all, I don't want the whole world to know if I marry a mutt. Maybe I should just go to Utah and start a polygamous sect which lets me marry as many dogs as I want to. I better get on that before the "Profit" Warren Jeffs gets the idea first.
