Yesterday was a rather upsetting day. At least the evening.

When I was feeding my cockatiel, he suddenly flew out of the aviary, right into the kitchen, where mom was cooking something on the stove, standing with her back against him. A cat anö a dog were there too. So you can imagine all kinds of horrors.

I just screamed for my sister. That's what I usually do in a crisis (thanks!). She picked him up and deposited him back in his luxurious mansion. He didn't seem at all grateful. :)

Since he's a bird and quite an old one at that, I was naturally worried. What if the shock had caused irreparable damage somehow? But this morning, he was his usual self, so probably I was worrying needlessly.

A little later, when I was going down to feed my cats, and go to bed myself, my sister's keeshond pushed my lhasa apso down the stairs. I was going down and suddenly I heard a loud thud. There she was, my baby, on the step behind me. I had a horrible vision of broken bones and internal injuries.

But lhasa apsos are tough. She didn't seem a bit purturbed by her flight. Today, she's just the same as always.

What a relief. I love them all so much I can't stand to lose them.
