Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.
RE: Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.
I'm glad you and your wife are providing a loving home for her.

We used to have a rescue dog and there were certainly issues though she was pretty young when we got her. Someone left her and her brother and sister in a box in a Walmart parking lot. They were too young to be away from their mother...the little boy sadly didn't make it. Lady was always a little twitchy even though her traumas happened so young. Sudden movements frightened her and thunder sent her into a quivering mess.

My African Grey is a rescue...more or less. She was owned by a young man who joined the military and wasn't able to take her along. His parents had her at their house and she HATED the mom. Turns out the woman would take her cage outside and spray it and the bird down with the hose. Greys like to bathe but don't like to shower. For a long time she lunged at me every time I was near her cage though she was okay with my husband and son. She's a lot better now but hell, it's been about 25 years.

I hate that people treat animals badly and then the animal gets blamed for being skittish.

Good luck with the dental tomorrow. One of mine had that done earlier this year.
