Oh my goodness!! Amazing that there's that much growth and change in only two weeks! And don't you dare give her a pet on her way home because it would undoubtedly wind up with me and Ron when she next leaves the country. And with the property and all the traveling we do, I've got my hands full without pets! And if we break down and get another cat, I don't think the combo of bird and cat would be a safe one.

He's very pretty, though. Have you named him yet?
