Mango was Coconut


And sweet little Coconut has been returned to his rightful owner... a widowed Mexican lady living 3 houses up from me. She began sobbing, praying in Spanish and calling me an angel from God when I showed up with her bird. She carried on for quite awhile, so that I (OF COURSE) started crying as well. Geez! I ended up letting her have his cage because she only had a little one and no toys, etc. - so knowing how much Coconut loved the toy and cage I could not keep it myself. (ya know, for some future bird?!) I can always buy another, but I don't think this lady can afford extras for her friend. Soo... sniff... sigh... no more little visitor at Casa Gargiulo.

In other news I may have found a place for my horses where they can live outside in a pasture with a nice shelter and I can potentially save almost $400 a month. I'll keep ya posted.

Here's Linx performing afternoon kitty yoga. This is downward cat.

Funny that you named her Mango and her real name was Coconut. She must just inspire tropical fruitiness :) I still want to know how she got in your yard in the first place!!
