I had a funny moment yesterday amist a sad day.
Yesterday morning my grandfather died. I am a wreck. I have been on and off crying since then.
Last night I decided to make a fire in the fireplace, pull up a chair and spend the evening knitting and listening to the fire. Fats and Camo were hanging out either on me or on the back of the chair--doing a slow chase as Camo tries to stay away from Fats.
Well they were both on the back of the chair and I was fiddling on my phone--turned to facebook and my cousin had posted a collage of Pappy. I lost it. I was wailing. After a few minutes of uncontrollable sobbing, I looked back at the birds and then were looking at me with these faces--faces that said what is going on? what's wrong with her? is she ok? And for a minute they weren't bickering.
Then I turned away. Not a moment later, Fats is growling and I turn around to find Fats' tail in Camo's beak. Kids.
Camo was a sweetie to me the rest of the night--he understands human behavior better than baby Fats.

Re: Birds and crying
Dear, so sorry you lost your Pappy. I'll be having you in my thoughts.
It is really special when we have these moments of weakness and the pets actually notice, and you can see them trying to process the information. For me, it is reassuring, because I take it as evidence we really *are* a little family. I'm glad your fids are there to look after you!
