-> Romeo and Juliet in a cross-species kinda thing.  It would make a
-> great children's book, or movie, even.
->
-> Something I'd love to write.  'Cept I'm just sort of too close to the
-> situation and it's hard to type with your eyes all full of tears. I
-> am undoubtably the biggest old baby in the world where my Danes and
-> my other 'critters' are concerned.
Me too (and just about everyone here).   Thanks for telling us more- I'm
gonna quote your story again, if you don't mind.  It was very touching.
-> I wish you could have seen that parrot kissing that old big snotty
-> dog-nose. He walked all over the house, just stomping along in that
-> determined Lilac Crown way, and every once in  while he'd ask
-> "Cheerup?" and if the dane heard him he'd thump that big old tail on
-> the floor and the parrot would tear out toward it. Upon arrival he'd
-> go all around the dog, testing to see where he was, and when he'd
-> find the dog-face he'd open his mouth and 'taste' dog breath (UGH!)
-> and kiss him.  It was so funny, but now I'm 'bout bawling
-> remembering...
-> We worried at first that the dog might 'snap' at him, (He darn sure
-> didn't tolerate the Yellow Cheek flying down on him) but they both
-> seemed to know there was mutual trust, and often the LC would walk up
-> a Dane-leg and sit on his head.... asking "Cheerup?" ever so often.
I experienced that sort of love and trust with my little zebra finch,
Beezus, for 14 years.  He was very ill the day he died, but he managed
to flutter over to me, struggled up to my shoulder and snuggled up next
to my cheek all day long.  It was an unforgettable day.  I felt so
honored that he came to me for comfort just as he always had in times of
need.  Now I'm 'bout bawling too, but it's a good kind of bawling.
-> again.  Then as soon as I got a chance I got ANOTHER LC.  They are
-> sure fine.
AIt's great to have another Amazon lover here.  I can sure see why you
want another LC; they sound like wonderful companions.
                                                          TTYL, Jan
