And I've been assured it wasn't bird flu, thank goodness, so my lovebird Zorro should be fine.

I just wanted to honor Rocky in some small way, and there's no way more fitting than this thread. If only you all could have seen how happy he was to finally be allowed to stomp and dance all over my keyboard (after being told "NO!" so many times), you just wouldn't stop laughing.

I just re-read this thread, and am finally laughing again after a very tough couple of days. I hope you'll do the same, then go give your pet(s) extra hugs, kisses, and treats tonight.
I'm so sorry to hear that Rocky has died...I know he provided a lot of entertainment for us here and most certainly to you too. Losing a pet really sucks.
