I am a sucker for getting pets.
We got another parrot shortly after our wedding anniversary. That brings our “flock” to three.* The latest is a talkative Jardine parrot. He is very beautiful and funny when he talks. An example is when he says, “Ooops” if his claws slip while walking on the newspaper. And probably my favorite thing is his laugh that is appropriately timed for my jokes or the TV show’s laugh reel. It so awesome!
I love the love of pets.
They are so transparent in their like and dislikes. As I have heard some say,
“They are true to their natures.”
Their love is such a gift. And I am grateful for three new creatures in our lives who are generous in their love for us.
How about you?
Do you have a feathered or furry friend who gives you love and acceptance?

*We now have five parrots in our flock including a “new” African Grey who follows us around like a puppy. Loki, the Jardine, is my special buddy. Mrs. DM says he starts whistling and gets excited when he knows I am about to come home. In fact, he jumps me as soon as I get into the entry way. Loki really is a dog with wings. I love my pumpkin head (parrot with orange feathers on his head)!
