Now Scented for your pleasure!
I’ve done some strange things in my time. I mean, being escorted out of a town by police to prevent a friend from being arrested, you know - things like that.
Today is the start of a new era - the next phase in bathing the bird. I have discovered that he can be shampooed using no more tears baby shampoo. So today was his first “shampoo”. It wasn’t as bad for me as I thought, I expected scratches, bites, screaming (from him, not me) and well… like a psycho / Hitchcock movie scenario.
What I got was a little bird, clean and smelling pretty, and some kisses thank you.
He never ceases to amaze me. He has changed so much since I took over his care almost 10 years ago. He’s become so sweet and cuddly. I wish my family could truly experience the real George, the one I know and play with everyday.
Mind you - I do enjoy finding new ways to “torture” him. He is cold and shivering right now, but he smells baby fresh!
