And Then There Was One

dog that is. Seems like our place is shrinking. We lost Oliver on Saturday, now here it is Wednesday and we have rehomed our dog, Princess. Now, Oliver was totally unplanned, but we have been wanting to find a home for Princess off and on for a while. Since we are moving this weekend, we became a bit more proactive in our search. A family came by last night and off Princess went. Now, Princess was (is) a sweet dog, but Lady really wanted to be an only puppy. While my two year old had another meltdown at losing another pet, Lady is walking around the house going "Princess who?". There was quite a bit of sibling rivalry with Lady and Princess, so much so that they constantly growled and barked at each other to get our undivided attention. One on one they were great, but together, ugh! So Lady is now the queen bee and is loving it. If the people come back with Princess I think Lady would block the door. But, I think Princess will have a good home. They have a 6 year old and a 2 year old and a chihuahua. No competition with another Eskimo. So, good for you Princess, you deserve to be able to rule your own roost, so to speak. So, now we are down to 2 cats, 1 dog and 1 bird. Things are simplifying over here, so much so that now I'm eyeing the bird... I like not having to be responsible for so many bodies. We could actually fit into an apartment now...as long as it's not a studio...

You can't give up the bird! It's my nephew's bird! Awww... :( I'll keep it temporarily if need be. And you know I'm not big on birds but it's my nephew's bird! Get rid of the cat or the dog... not the bird!

Sorry. Just trying to simplify. Also, the place where we are going also has a cat. One who catches birds. Apparently she caught three birds in one day. There is a concern for the safety of the bird as well. Our cats as 13 and declawed. They are lazy as can be and just ignore the bird, even when he walks up to them. Of course they were trained by the macaws before...they know what can happen when you get "curious"-lol. Our cats give the bird a wide area, but Lilah is a hunter. If she can catch them in the wild, what can happen to one who is going to live in her house?
