New Year . . . New Angel?

Well who can believe 2012 is here already how fast did last year go!! It is crazy how quickly the years fly past now when your younger a month seemed like a year!!

Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas, we had a great time apart from our little girl being really ill christmas ill and christmas day but we still made it special and santa paid her a visit :o ) and on our Forum we had the christmas raffle (massive thanks to Pat for sorting out the raffle) with over 20 prizes and secret santa and also we sold lots of the human cook books which the funds all went into Angels appeal.

Angel has been fine well as fine as she can be bless her she is still on Metacam and her normal quiet self, she never plays with toys i think it is because she can’t use her feet like a normal grey and she normally just hangs on to the side of the cage. I have been trying different toys every week to see what I could get her to play with and up until this week nothing worked until I had a really simple toy idea! I placed a plastic cat ball which has a small bell inside so it rattles onto a fruit kebab stick and hung it near where she sits on the food bowl and success she played with it non stop for about 6 hours!! I was so chuffed it was so nice to hear her playing with the ball, it brought a tear to my eye as it is so sad to have seen her a grey not play with toys because of her deformed legs! This is why i think this operation is a must as she has not much of a life the way she is and to live the next 20+ years like this it’s no life!

We have raised even more money last month and we are not far off the amount we need for her to have her first leg done.. see the poster below for totals. So looks like she will have her operation this month. So a massive thank you to all who have donated so far we still have a little to raise to cover the after care and medications but we are more of less there.

As soon as I have her date confirmed I will let you all know :)
