She's also decided that since my parrot sometimes rides on my shoulders while I cook, she should be allowed to as well-  she sometimes jumps up on my back and climbs to my shoulders when I stoop over to get something out of the cabinet- it's very charming!Palu is so wonderful I sometimes wonder how I could ever live without her antics! One day I had come home to find my Quaker parrot had let himself out of his cage while I was at work. I started panicking when I saw the cage door  open, but then I saw Guapo (the bird) hanging out on his playpen about 8 inches away from Palu who was sleeping away like it was just business as usual. Besides the fact that Palu sometimes forgets Guapo's a bird and wants to wrestle and roll on him, she's amazingly gentle.

She also loves to play tag right before bed- we thunder through the house playing chase and she makes me laugh every time that she comes around a corner  walking sideways with her back arched and her tail puffed up like a fox. Thank you so much for everything you do there at the shelter. I often come in to see if I can find another sweet soul who will fit into our little menagerie (I think Palu needs a buddy to wrestle with to give Guapo a break!). The volunteers/employees are always so friendly and patient with me while I visit with all the critters. :) I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you all do.
