I read a few posts here last night but was tired (I had to sit in the KCI
airport for 5 hours waiting for my flight).  I cannot attempt to catch up.
Purrs and birdie chirps where needed for whatever you may need them for.

I picked up Persia and Peaches the Lovebird a little while ago.  Persia
yowled the entire way home.  Then she had to inspect every room in the
apartment, including the closets, still yowling.  She's finally settled down
next to me, occasionally mrrpping for some skritches and rewarding me with
purrs.

They had previously told me to cut her food consumption to 1/2 c. in the
morning and 1/4 c. in the evening.  (Hill's x/d).  The vet looked at her and
they called and told me it's now 1/4 c. in the morning and 1/4 c. in the
evening.  When they gave me the bag of food back there was a sticky-note on
it which read "1/2 c. day total - DO NOT OVERFEED!"  LOL  I noticed even
though it's only been a week she has already slimmed down!  Yay!

My only complaint is for some reason they took her collar off.  This
happened once before.  So I got home and no collar.  I called; oh yeah, it
was in the little bucket by her kennel, they forgot to grab it.  Why would
they take it off in the first place?  They weren't doing any sort of
procedure on her.  So now I have to make another trip over there to get her
collar.  Frankly, I'm still tired so that will have to wait for tomorrow at
least.

The receptionist told me a funny.  Another woman who works there thought I
was picking them up yesterday.  When it came around closing time she
realized it was today.  She made an announcement on the intercom:  "Persia
and Peaches are staying another night".  When she said "Peaches" they heard
an answering chirp from the back!  I smiled; yes, my little Peaches knows
her name and reacts to it :)  They thought that was funny.
