Well three weeks ago, my cousin called me and asked me to find her a quaker well I looked and looked couldn't find one, so my husband asked me well why couldn't we send Elvis that way and see how he does one on one with her, we had been haveing trouble with him biteing EVERYBODY and Stan ( my husband) was the only one he would go too. So like an idiot I sent Elvis over there,( I didn't have majj to remove him off my signature) well i had a gut feeling she couldn't handle him, but against my better judgement I sent him. Well I got a call tonight from her son tellilng me that he is trying to talk his momma into sending him back here, he had caught her so called husband being sorta mean to Elvis.. I FEEL REALLY ROTTEN because I put that poor baby back into a situation that was bad!! Well I told her son to do what ever he could to get her to send him back... If any one can get her to do it he can..
I keep telling myself that he will forgive me when he gets back home, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER SENT HIM THERE....
I also found out that she never put him into a bigger cage once he got to her house, and she promised me that she had a bigger cage so this lil fella has been in a VERY SMALL TRAVEL CAGE for the last three friggin weeks.I don't know who to be mad at here, myself for letting him go to her, or HER for not doing what she said she would. And i already made a promise to him once he gets home he will never leave me or the family ever again... HE and I will grow old gracefully together....
I am so upset over this i can barely type as it is, and I have been steadily crying ever since he called me tonight..
I just want him home no matter what so I know he will be happy....
I just really feel like badddddd parront...
I'm sorry Elvis.....

[xerxeys mama]

dont feel bad you couldnt know that this would happen but thankgoodness you can get Elvis back. i know things will work out and im prayin for you and Elvis.

[owned by racal]

cindy your not bad you wanted to help a person that thought they wanted a companion elvis knows you love him there is a bond that never leaves you may be punished but he will still love you

[cdennis77521]

oh I hope soo.. We are going to my mom's house this weekend and my mom lives with my cousins mom( my aunt) and I am soooo hopeing when i get there i see that lil green baby.... I am praying that her son can talk her into giving him back! My cousin used to be real good with any kind of animal whether it be feathered or fur, and personaly I think Elvis is just good and mad because he isn't here for one and he is having to live in a small cage.. But honestly I think he is just good and mad, and I hoping and praying that when he does get home he won't hold it against me too much, I HUGE CAGE waiting on him to come home to loaded with toys and food....

[jaytee]

Sounds like Elvis needs to be rescued ASAP. When he gets home, yes, he will probably attempt to punish you. Don't put up with it though. This little mis-adventure, may help in anti-biting training. Don't be so hard on yourself! Just go save the little guy.

[cdennis77521]

I am headed up there Saturday to see what I can do... Like I said her son is trying to talk to his mom about just going ahead and sending him back.
So I am keeping my fingers crossed, and my toes and whatever else I can cross...LOL....

[QTQP4me]

i'll cross everything i can for you too. you made what you thought was a good decision, based on faulty information, and it turned out to be not so good. we all do it all the time. the main thing now is to get his little fluffy butt HOME where it belongs. good luck!

Don't give her the option, he's your bird just take him back! I would not take any crap about this, if he is in a bad situation he needs to be out of there.

[LuvMyHarley1]

From what I understand you have said, you didn't give Elvis to them to start with, did you?......if not, you don't have to get any one's permission to get him back....and if it were me, I'd be there in a skinny minute; that baby living in a small cage; just isn't fair to him....

Please Do Go Get Elvis........

[Sandi Kiwis Mom]

Cindy, don't beat yourself up about this......just go get Elvis....and KEEP him safe from harm. I tell ya, some relatives are to be banned

[cdennis77521]

I am hoping I hear from her son tonight,he usualy calls me around 8pm so with any luck I should hear from him tonight.
Like I said I can't get there till Saturday, with my youngest being in school, and she lives llike 300 miles from me so Saturday is my only option!!!! Thanks everybody for all the support and PLEASE keep your fingers crossed and do a lot of praying...
i emailed her last night asking her to bring him to me in Brady, thats where my mom's lives and to bring him there so I can get him, I haven't heard from her as of yet but it is still early.

[Majj]

Oh !! I hope you get him home soon poor little guy probably misses the whole flock...

[Dave]

I am in agreement with others. You couldn't have known that it would turn out as badly as it apparently has, but knowing now how it has turned out, Elvis should be rescued and returned to your home as soon as possible. Hang in there, and keep us posted!

[SantanasMom]

I agree with everyone. It doesn't sound like you "gave" him away, so you should be able to get him back. Good luck and Santana and I will be thinking of you this weekend!

[Andie's Mom]

I wouldn't give her an option. Just go get him...Just say that you've heard that he's not being cared for as to your agreement, therefore he's coming home with you...End of story...Just pick up the cage and take him and go. If she or any other relatives get mad...Oh well...She didn't live up to her side of the bargain.

[cdennis77521]

I did find out this afternoon she is bringing Elvis to my mom's Friday night.. So he will be back home Sunday! I'll leave here saturday

Congratulations. As much as you want to be upset, you may want to give her permission to not own animals. It may keep her from finding another pet and putting it through this.

[msdani1981]

I'm so happy you're bringing Elvis home soon! And I agree with Tinks, I wouldn't help her find another Quaker...or any other animal, I think.....

[jaytee]

So glad "Elvis Will Be In The House"!! Now we have to hear some one else watching the clock tic

you may want to give her permission to not own animals. It may keep her from finding another pet and putting it through this.

We all suggest treating bad behavior with minimal incident, and reward good behavior.

Maybe she just needs to do a little studying first, and make sure she has the necessary things, and knowledge before acquiring an animal.

The actual cage size was not mentioned, maybe it's adequate, but not something we would use. The only real abuse mentioned was the boyfriend/hubby. She might be a great parront with proper training , but what about him.

Come'on home Elvis!!!!!

[herbiesmom]

Thank goodness she decided to bring him to Brady. But please don't beat yourself up about it, making a poor decision has happened to all of us at one time or another. I'm so glad you will be getting your fid back!
