Thank you Caroyn. Pepito is 6 years old and he's a sweetheart,
he's a talking budgie, he says short sentence and some words.
He's very funny and smart, also he's free in the house.

Oh, dear Paola, how fun to have Pepito. My little Cheeks, who is 13 years old now, recently had a stroke and is unable to fly so now everything in his cage is ground level...

I didn't know you have a Cheeks, what kind of bird is he?
Poor little thing, he's lucky to be alive after the stroke.
Pepito is free, but doesn't fly so much, maybe he's lazy...lol

Cheeks is a mannikin finch. He is very small and we call him cheeks because of his orange cheeks. At one time I had five different mannikin finches and one of them also had a stroke and Cheeks was his caretaker. When I first bought them, the store owner said that they would live for about 4 years and it was true for one of them (others lived for 7 to 8 years) but our little Cheeks is now 13 years old. I will be very sad when he is no longer!!
It's nice that Pepito is free. It seems to me that he is a happy bird and doesn't need to fly all the time

Now I understand. Your little finch is very lucky to live for so long,
He's a strong cute bird. I had a parrot who lived for twenty years, he was a green cheek conure.
He was very beautiful, but he wasn't so nice and sometimes he screamed a lot.
He died in December 2012, I had the ictus on February 2013, so just in time.
Sorry, but I didn't miss him like a misse my other pet, even after all these years. He had a cage, but he lived outside all the time, on the top.
He rarely flew around the house, I think parrots don't like to fly too much.
Anyway I prefer dogs and cats, I don't think I'll get another bird. In someway I saved the conure, because
he was stressed and without feathers, he picked them up. For this we called him, pollo, that it means huhn.
I love soft furs, lol

Oh, dear Paola, I remember Cacatua, the parrot, and when he died. You were sad but mentioned to me that he was not a very 'agreeable' parrot...lol! If there is another life, for sure I want to be a bird--how wonderful to be able to fly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dear Carolyn, I love cacatua, it's a beautiful parrot, but the
problem is still the same, they scream a lot...lol
They live a very long life, an ara could live 60 years old...
I'm too old for such a bird, I can only afford a cat or a dog,
if I live longer enough. My heart is still bleeding for my beloved dog,
this was a really hard punishment for me.
Anyway, in another life, I'd love too to be a bird, but not closed in a cage...

If I came back as a bird, this would be my luck...lol!

Dear Carolyn, this is so funny!
Instead if I came back as a bird, I would be the stupid one who goes around for cats...lol!

Yes, I love this picture too. But my Pepito was almost killed twice by
my kitten Micol. Three years ago, when I was living in the other
house, with the garden and all the rest, I found some cats and Micol and her sister were
newborn, they lived with their mother until they were 3 or 4 months old. Immediately I fell in love with Micol,
at that time I had my beloved dog with me and she wasn't scary at all by my dog. Unfortunately I let her in the
house and though she was very young, she wounded my budgie twice, the second time she made him bleeding.
After that, I took them apart, but it wasn't easy. Now she's leaving with my sister and 3 other cats,
Pepito is free and I can't have cats.
I would love to take care of both, but for Pepito would be certain death.

I know, it's in their nature. Mo, the cat, and Moosh, the dog, use to bang on the aviary which housed the five little birds at one time and I would get upset with the bigger animals but thank goodness the little birds were behind bars - - maybe that's why Blue had a heart attack and died within the first four years, terrorized by the cat and dog. This is just a thought and I hope that was not the reason - - it was just his time.
To change the subject, it has been so cold and windy here that we fear we might lose power. It's to be -5 degrees tonight - brrr! Stay warm sweet Paola

Yes, I understand, poor little birds, cats can be very nasty...lol...even small dogs.
I had a German Shepard who lived with Pepito free and my dog
never attacked my budgie, maybe big dogs don't bother.
Here the weather is sunny as usual, we had some cold days, but really
nothing special. In some parts of Italy, bad weather can be dangeorous, but here
in Milan, not at all. It snowed only 2 days this winter, but the sun came back soon.
We have a very boring weather...
When I was in New York, it was February and for the first time in my life I
felt very cold. It was -10 degrees celsius. We don't have such a cold temperature
in town, only in the mountain.
I send you a big hug from the sunny Italy

Thank you, dear Carolyn.
I'd like this "winter" weather would last longer, but soon the hot and horrible
summer will come. Maybe I love winter because here its mild, not too cold.
Be patient until the snow will go away...

Your little emotes are cute. The latest news: yesterday we received around 16 inches of snow and today have been shoveling out because tomorrow is back being bitter cold. The kids are hoping for no school tomorrow and Amel was to come but he has canceled. His area got around 20 inches of snow. We are now honkered down for the remainder of this day and hopefully tomorrow. Now to get caught up on dA...

Houch...that's a lot of snow.
Maybe I won't never complain too much about our weather anymore
I heard that in New York and some of the States around, the snow
caused many troubles. I remember when I had to walk the dog, even
the rain was annoying. But as I told you, here the weather is almost always nice.
Its' only a matter of time, I think people who live there are used to the cold and the snow
in the winter. I send you a little sunshine from Italy...

Today I've spoken with the owner of my dog, who told me she's living alone in a court,
because the other German Shepard died few days ago. She was 14 years od.
The man asked me if I want her back and of course I would love to, with all my heart.
The problem is still I don't feel perfectly well, I can't go out alone and with a dog it would be impossible.
I need to recover my balance and some other little thing. So for now the situation is in stand-by
until next summer. If I'll be ok again, my beloved dog would come back with me for sure.
I really hope so...

Please don't feel badly about it, dear Paolo, and don't push yourself. The right time will come and you have something to look forward to next summer. In the meantime, your dog is safe and getting good care
(Expecting more snow tomorrow morning )

Thank you dear Carolyn for your kind words.
But really, I feel guilty and miserable thinking my dog is out there
and I'm here with planty of time and we can't get together because
of my nasty health. I had to overcome my physical situation as soon as possible.
I want to try on myself if my willpower will be strong than everything else.
Anyway, I'm sorry for such a bad weather, is it normal?
Here as usual there's a nice sun, the temperature is not too cold, I can say it's perfect.

Oh, dear Paola, No, no, you can't feel that way (guilty and miserable) - it's a waste of time but getting better is not and having will power to do so is the best 
(The kids had another snow day and all of us were in pajamas the whole day doing nothing. But poor Mykel is sick with the flu

Dear Carolyn, you're very kind but I feel sad about all this mess.
I'm trying really hard to recover myself as fast as possible.
Anyway, give my best wishes to Mykel, but is it usual having all that snow?
Here the weather is nice as always, so I send you a warm hug

Hi sweet Paola, Believe it or not, it's snowing again. This is unusual for us to have so much snow this winter but other states got so much more than us. And please don't be hard on yourself. Mykel is a little better today. Enjoy your nice weather and lots of hugs to you

Dear Carolyn, thank you for your kind words,
I have to wait, at least until June, but after that, I'll be better,
I have to...Once I've read, "if you can't, you must...and you can"
I hope the snow will go away soon, even if some snow could be nice.
Here it seems almost spring...goodbye winter.
I wish you all the best especially to Mykel.

Yesterday was rain ice and so dangerous...of course the kids had another school day off. Amel canceled his visit and is coming next week instead. Mykel is about 70% better...he sees the light in the tunnel. Oh, my goodness, hope no one else gets sick. Starting next week the weather shows that it will get warmer

Dear Carolyn, actually you had a very bad weather,
as I told you here the winter is mild, but in the middle and south of Italy
they had a bad weather too. I'm glad to hear everyone is getting better.
Here the sun shines but fortunately, the temperature is still low.
I hope for the best, but I'm working hard on me, my dog is waiting...
Big hug to all of you

Thank you so much dear Carolyn for the premium membership!
You really didn't have to do it, you're to kind with me.
Now I can't paint and do what I'd like to do, this thing is driving me crazy.
I hope to come back asap to a normal life, I miss a lot of things...
Anyway, thank you very much for now. (you're emoticon is so cute)
Big hug!
