    Hey glad to hear it worked out. I had a similar issue with my elderly cat, the 21 year old one I have pictures of me giving IV fluids to. One morning I saw her laying in an odd position. Her eyes were partially opened but glazed over. I picked her up she was like a rag doll, very slow respiration no response to me shaking her a bit. I called the vet made an emergency appointment while I was getting the cat carrier she literally jumped up, began meowing and made her way to the food and water bowl like nothing happened. It’s the first time I saw it but knowing how much cats sleep this could be happening frequently. I think this goes back two years ago. She is still trucking. Will be 22 at the years end. Vet never figured it out and I haven’t seen it happen since. For months I would randomly poke her when she was sleeping which I’m sure annoyed her I was just trying to see if it was happening. Hopefully it was just a weird thing and your pups marches on like my cat.

    Big parrots are something that are best chosen for how they work with you and your environment. This is my second Macaw as I had one several years ago when I lived in Singapore and the two are totally different personalities. I also had an African Grey who was brilliant when I lived in Saudi and he would be here with me now except for a lazy bureaucrat. I haven't given up hope though as I have a mate who is going back there and hoping that we can track him down.

    To answer your question as to what we have now.
    We have Mango the Macaw..

    Peck, Gregory Peck the Parrotlet which are the smallest Parrot breed and he is great company. Peck thinks he is as big as Mango:)

    The Gouldian finches which are native to Australia. A little slice of my birth country.

    And finally the Budgies or Budgerigars, who are also native to Australia..
    We were given three by a friend of my wife's because they didn't want them anymore. The cage on the top of the big cage is what they used to keep them in. I couldn't believe it and immediately had the one they are in now made. The number grew to five and now with the new babies 7 with more on the way. As from tomorrow there residence will more than double as we extend to accomodate the swelling numbers:)

    I still think he is trying to work out what I find so fascinating about the laptop - word docs and spreadsheets are not his thing.
    He does still like the mouse.... but only on the ipad. Him being part Norwegian Forest cat I think I need to move to a Norwegian forest. Based on this cat I assume they never have any wind, rain, snow or temperatures below 22 degrees … because he assumes the curl of despair in all those conditions (wake me up when it is over). I think the extra furry feet and neck ruff must just be to protect them from sunstroke in the Caribbean like conditions of the Norwegian forests.....

    Oh no... Really sorry to read this. Pets are really a full member of the family, and losing one is surely very emotional and heartbreaking.
    All my thoughts with you and the rest of your family in these next lonelier time. None of them really leave, as they remain in our hearts forever.
