1/31/07 Clunker, bird treats, Sandy's hot water tank....

(These letters were exchanged on January 31st, 2007)

Hey Daddio... bird duty is almost over! I know how you dread seeing it come to an end.... how long does the itching last? Maybe I should make you a padded vest so Q's nails can't dig through? They are sharp. Steve can't stand Yoda's nails and doesn't want her touching his skin. He pulls his sleeve down over his hand so she has a layer of fabric to stand on. When I put her on his leg (when he's on his chair feet up on the ottoman) he HATES that... sharp nails. Maybe that's what makes it itch.

I haven't heard of this "Golden Crunch" bread... but it's nice they both enjoy it. Yes, Q does get vigorous and aggressive with things, when he plays, when he shreds. Yes, he loves it. He's a very physical bird. Paco is much more low key, doesn't do much in the way of athletic stunts, swinging, swirling or ripping things apart. Nothing makes Paco happier than attention.

I'm going to call you today to see if we can possibly hook up.

Steve still has his long bushy hair. He doesn't care where he goes, but he does get a more stylish (modern, updated) haircut when he goes to Sport Clips. Ha ha, once he went to a place and there was a cute black girl giving haircuts. She was really nice and he liked her, but when he came home I laughed my butt off... she gave him a hair cut with a flat long top and shaved sides just like Arsenio Hall!! (A black hair style, ha ah ha) He didn't care. He doesn't tell them what to do, just lets them do what they want.

So I better get going... talk to you soon!
Love, Dottie
