I've been poked in my PMs so I figured I'd come say hi and give an update, for anyone here who remembers me.

I'm doing fairly good. Just broke up with my husband a few days ago. Let's just say it was a... erm... very unhealthy marriage, and I did what I needed to do to protect myself by sending him home. It's been a big adjustment... I went straight from my parents house to being married so I've never entirely been on my own before.

Andrew (QP) is doing good, he just turned 8 on August 10th. He had an episode where banged the heck out of his wing, we never did figure out how he did it. I brought him to an avian vet down here in FL for the first time, I LOVE that woman, she's awesome. He was on two meds, I don't remember what, and the little dork loved the feeding syringe. It was hysterical. He'd fluff up in my hand and close his eyes and lick the syringe. When it got to the point where he actually stepped up into the towel for me to flip him over into my hand with, I just started giving it to him through the bars, and he'd get so excited when he saw me preparing it that he'd almost run right off his perch while he was pacing back and forth. Odd birdy, liking meds. I keep meaning to pick up new syringes to start offering him juices in, since he loved it so much.

All of the other animals have died off, except 3 fish. Once I settle in and have some spare money, I'd like to adopt a really big rabbit. See, I don't wanna mess with having a cat at the same time as a parrot, I know it can be done I just don't want to do it haha. I can't really have a dog right now because of the expensive pet deposit I'd have to give the real estate, and my yard is only fenced on two sides. So I'll just rabbit-proof my house, and find a really sweet full-grown litter trained rabbit up for adoption, and let it run around while I'm home to supervise. Then I get the company and the fluffy loveability of a little dog or cat, without the worry with Andrew or the problems with the dog. Voila, problem solved. >=D Yay!

Oh yeah, just a few weeks before breaking up with my husband, we signed a 12 month lease on a house. >.< Yeah, a house which I now can't afford. But I'll make it work somehow cuz I love this place. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a den, a dining area, an awesome kitchen, a garage, and a nice sized front and back yard... $725/month. LOL something like this back in New York would've been out of this world in cost. Here... it's nothing. The second bedroom is my office/bird room. Love it!

Anyways. I guess that's about it. Overall, I'm doing pretty well... just adjusting, really. So, lol, hi. *waves*

Angilla I am so sorry to hear that things did not work out for you. I am sure you will manage on your own. I am glad Andrew is doing well. Great to hear from you. I missed you. Welcome back!

I am so sorry that the marriage didn't work out. I am glad that you are doing ok though. I am also glad that Andrew is doing well, you never know what these little monsters will like. Maybe you can find a room mate (one who likes parrots and rabbits) to share your house. If you do go that way just make sure you check them out carefully and get everything down on paper (I watch too many judge shows). Just make sure you keep us updated often.

glad to see that you are doing good. I know its tough but you will pull through. You go Woman. You are a strong gal!!

It is nice to hear from you once again Angilla....I thought you had fallen off the face of the earth... But happy to see you are back with us....

Sorry to hear of the rough times you've had....These things do happen but I know you will survive.....Just think positive and move forward and never look back....And Andrew---what a little sweetheart....I remember you taking him in and glad to hear he is doing well....(except for his wing)...hope it heals completely.....

Thanks for the update lady and don't be a stranger....wishing you all the best in your new life.....

Welcome home Angilla We've missed you!

Im sorry the marriage didn't work out ... it is a tough time to go thru ... but things will work out for you and Andrew on your own, even tho it may not look like it right now

Good luck on the bunny! My youngest had a bunny for a time when she was younger...it was soooooo fluffy.........used to just LOVE to hold it and pet it.
