Normally I would add to the Salty thread but this day....I had to put it up by it self

First , I took Geri food shopping and on a whim i grabbed Salty , his pack o bird and his harness ( just for giggles). I know It was gonna be along time in the car ( Geri is handi capped and just wanted to get out of the house a bit). I knew it would be a couple of hours. After she left the car Salty came out, to run around the car. I started to count compliments on my vs compliments on Salty. He won, 2 to 4. Again on a whim, I took out the harness, and with no treats at all, Salty let me put the harness on him, nobites, no squacking, just let me. Even when I tightened it up. So we got out of the car, and wlked up and donw the flowers they has onside walk sales. I let him smell every one. And then we went in the super market, to ask ig Salty was allowed in. They said sure, as long as he has a leash on him. Si in we went, looking for Geri. Salty got so many compliments I lost track. Once i found Ger, she said she we almost done, and I should just meet her at the car. All the while Salty is just looking around. SO back to the car we went, and took off his harness, which was just as hassle free as putting it on. Into the pack o bird he went. I even found a better place for it wedged in between the seats.. I couldnt praise him enough. In harness for a good 20 minutes ,I was so proud of him.

And then I took a bike ride out to the Indian reservation to buy smokes ( like $10 a carton), and had a flat coming home. On a car no big deal. In a bike, I was lucky enough to muscle the bike to the shoulder. Rear tire was sheredded, gone . Luck was still with me, because a bike only tow truck saw me sitting by the side of the high way. So the story ends ok, he towed me to my house, and I gave the guy a big tip . It may sound like it but Lady Luck was with me all day.

FANTASTIC! You'll see in Bumble's thread that we took an outing too and the "she's so cute" comments were nonstop.

I'm just so excited for you and Salty! I know how long you've worked at this. [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319]

Oh, you people with well-trained bird!
But I won't be a hater.
I'm so happy for you, and even happier for your birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
What a day! I've been helping the ex's grandkids pack up for a move to Missouri and I is tired! Would have been a lot more fun wandering around watching the charming Salty charming everybody and smell flowers.
