Spectacular Sparky

[phesina]

Dear Sparky, you are gorgeous! You're absolutely stunning, with those colorful feathers and that sweet face with those lovely big dark eyes and that beak with what looks like a big smile (and probably is!). And what a story you have to tell! One evening just before Christmas your dear Mom-to-be had the urge to visit the Seattle Animal Shelter. There you were, huddled in a grungy little cage with no toys, dirty water, and a dish of old seeds on the floor. You had just been dumped outside the shelter by some cruel sub-human, with a note saying "He's old, he's noisy, and he BITES!" How could Mom NOT take you home?! So, HOME you went with her, and your life has since turned around completely for the better! That first night, she didn't know what to expect, but she opened the cage door, and you walked right onto her arm and then up to her shoulder. You weighed next to nothing, which had been concealed by your feathers. You watched a movie together because her boyfriend was away.

You've turned out to be quite the character! You love whistling military drill tunes off-key and spending time in your shoe-box on the cage wall, whittling away at it from the inside. You also love to look at your gorgeous self in mirrors. You use a frying pan as a bathtub! You like to dine with the family and watch TV with them. You got a clean bill of health from the vet once you put some weight back on. In spite of the note left with you, Mom doesn't think you're that old, you're definitely not noisy, and the only time you bite is if you're cornered and scared. She's so glad you came home with her that night. You're the best Christmas present ever! You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Sparky, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Congratulations, Sparky, on being POTD! You are so gorgeous, brilliant, adorable and precious! Divine Intervention brought you to your wonderful human parent who has given you a new lease on life ~ full of happiness, love, fun, treats and safety! Over the decades, many of the small animals we have adopted from the Humane Society came with the same type of stupid story ("too aggressive" or "unfriendly") and it's always been proven WRONG the first day we brought our new little friend home! BTW, Sparky, you are so photogenic, you should have your own calendar ~ you are just darling ~ no wonder you love mirrors! We had to laugh at your human parent's description of your "bath routine"! We have a little rescued bird who has a funny, quirky bath routine, too, and it's utterly charming to watch! Sending all best wishes for a continued happy, healthy, fun, safe life, Sweetie! XOXO P.S. We birds! Our precious rescued Lil Peeps: http://www.guineapigsrfun.net/275827546
