I should not have walked into THAT petstore *sighs*

[Dani03]

Guess what guys! I got a new IRN sitting here at my house now. She is a very light turquoise color. She is GORGEOUS!

Her previous owners dumped her at the store...and me being the SUCKER that I am I took her in. I don't have a name yet...

I will try my best to get pics

mbs is an expensive habit....

that said, Can't wait to see the new fid su#$@r, oops! did I say that out loud? Takes one to know one huh Dani!

Now go find tha darn camera! no more excuses!!!

[CatsChair]

that is why I am only allowed to go to animal shelters, and buy all my pet food and supplies on the internet.....just a little bit of financial comfort (as my 29 birds laugh in the background). Congrats on the new baby!!

*tosses Dani's credit card bills into the air*

You really did have good intentions hunny. This addiction is simply stronger than we are.

Aint gonna get these paid off hunny. Its like crack, once ya try bird ya dont ever go back.

But WHO CARES HAHA!!!! BIRDS ROCK.

[Dani03]

*grins happily*

Hey man I only got ONE credit card...

The new girl is settling in for the night...she is next to Prinny's cage and is staring at in at her. YES she has been vet checked and is healthy...hopefully pics will be coming soon.

Dani

[Mikaela]

No hopefully... we have pics for you aw da time!

Post a pic of the one that looks *most* like her. Then we will have an idea!

[Cindy]

I wanta see, I wanta see! Oh, another ring neck, oh how great! I too, want another one...shhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell hubby, he wants one too....I want to let him think its his idea!....Oh Dani, what are you going to do with money anyway, but spend it...I mean you can't take it with ya, but you can take memories of all the love the birds give you. Really, having 8 birds is not that different here, than having 2 birds...The start up is costly with cage and toys, but overall food is just about the same...Now when I buy fruit and veggies its all gone. I don't have any left over to spoil. One bird can not eat a whole apple in one week, so half spoils...BUT 2 birds eat a whole apple in one week, no spoiled leftovers...See, makes great cost savings in long run LOL

[xo Missi]

OMG!! How exciting! Now I need another one.....err, did I say that? Uhmm...

So umm, yea I reeeeally need to see pics too

[Dani03]

I'm trying...hopefully I will have some of the new girl (atleast we think she is a 'she') sometime this weekend but don't hold me to it.

I really need to get a camera...

You can get a good one on eBay for around $200, maybe a bit less, even! That's where my bf got mine!

[CatsChair]

if you have any frequent flyer or credit card "miles" laying around, there are some nice digitals available. Got mine with my AmEx points

LMAO! If only that reasoning would work at home!

Ok now I got the details but no pic.
Danni I love it, a new fid. Pet stores are so dangerous, just the toys
alone can set you back but then the birds themselves ...
oh my
But what the hey, if you've read my post about a male ekkie
you know how I feel about the whole thing.
Life is short. And hard sometimes. Not a good idea that we
make too many decisions that make it harder but, if you found out you were seriously ill tomorrow and may not live would you rather have the money in the bank or the bird...
I'd rather have the bird and make my last days worthwhile, giving and getting love.

Okay, that is beautiful reasoning Sue!! Now come over and get Joe to believe in it and we'll be in business

[Dani03]

*giggles*

You guys are too much sometimes.

I do agree with ya Sue...I'd rather have the bird.

I took in the new one because I knew she'd be going to a home that understood what an IRN truly takes. Heaven's knows there too many out there now and people don't realize what work they are...

I must be obsessive. I have carefully put money away because the person I have left "custody" of the critters when that Mack truck mows me down has enough vet bills already (she breeds Newfoundlands, to keep her cats and birds company) that I want to be sure that my crew are not a burden! So, when I get a new fid, I need money and the bird!!
