I spray Balth on an every-other-day basis. she gets a spray for being good
too. She likes to jump into the spray, it's cute.
WEll, if I had somebody to spray me, I'd be happy. :+)
WEll, she'd be in the computer room, what do you think?
But, we're moving the computer's, so she'll be in the NEW and IMPROVED
computer room(it's closer to my bed room.) and that room is flea infested.
What dhould I do? I'm going to take all of the pets out of the house, and
bomb
it, but what do I do to keep them away?
I have 20/20 vision. The only one in my family. Later on the Astigmatism in
my right eye might get worse, but I can trim and cut and do anything
to Blath's talons and wings. She needs a talon trimming soon. Now where is
that blood clotter? Oh well, she might not be getting that trim after all.
She has a tendency to move right when I cut so I catch the quick of the talon
quite often.
Well, there is nothing as beautiful as a baby bird after it's first molt.
At least nothing in the animal kingdom.
