Are You Kidding?

So, had to run Toni and Liza up to Lake Oswego to the bird doc.  Beautiful day for the 8 hour round trip.  Traffic wasn't too bad, cops were out on I5.

Took Toni up a week early because she started to lose weight again.  Her tests didn't look too bad but she put her on Enulose for life and 30 days on a second antibiotic.  Hopefully she'll start to gain weight.  She's a veracious eater, well, yeah, she's an Amazon, they are usually good eaters.  So, just needs to get her body to make use of those nutrients.

Took Liza up for a quick look at her picking.  Fall is hard on them as they go through the molt. We're trying some thing new, a topical.  Topical ointments are hard on birds because like cats, they lick it off.  We'll see.  Parrot's don't belong in cages, they belong in the wild.  But, they're here, so you have to try to make their stay as comfortable and happy as possible.  With some, not so easy.

Decided to stop at McD's on the way home in order to try to stop the low blood sugar that happened on the last trip.  Usually I get the small hamburger, apples and ice tea, about 300 calories.  Decided, that wasn't going to be enough, so got a Frappe and one of these new Angus burgers.  I guess those things are 1/3 pound of meat.  You have got to be kidding me.  There was enough there to feed me all week!  At least I didn't get any fries.  I munched on it from Wilsonville to Eugene.  My GOD, no wonder we're the fattest nation in the world.

Well, I didn't have a sugar crash, made it all the way home, bright and alert.
