Thanks Cath, they are in the kitchen calling me as I type. Little "darlings".
Well, the dogs have had a few surprises so far. I have a charger for dogs so not quite as strong as the ones used for horses and cows but it still "bites" you good if you touch it which I do often on the one at the top of the fence. Which reminds me, it is off right now because I was working near it this afternoon.
Lost my Senegal parrot today. I had the back door open about a foot for my little special needs chi because he can't maneuver the dog door very well any more and the bird is clear in the dining room but something must have scared him and he flew. I was out with the dogs and thought I heard him screech but since the door was slightly open I figured I just heard him from inside. When I came in and walked by a shrub he was in it scared him and he took off. I heard him screeching and called to him and then I heard one final screech and nothing more. I think the sparrow hawk may have gotten him. I called him all day and never heard him again. Now this is a bird that can't even fly well in the house. He can't steer and is always running into walls etc. I am really going to miss him. He won't survive the night, it will be too cold. Darn it all anyway.
