You'll Never Know...
I was doing really well. I was keeping it together like any grown-up does (do adults call themselves grown-ups? Probably not but this 25-year-old does and will continue to do so). I walked out the door of the vet's office, unlocked my car, sat down, shut the door, and lost it. Seriously. I was full on ugly crying. I envy those who can look somewhat normal when they cry, god forbid, pretty.

The Love of a Dog
It was June and I just graduated high school. My mother and father knew what I wanted for graduation for a long time now but didn't know if it was the right time for me to get something that would take up so much responsibility when I already had a lot on my plate.

I Have a Cockatiel
I have a cockatiel and her name is Barbie. This is our story so far. When I first started looking for a bird, I was really excited and I wanted a big bird. Like a really really big bird! So I talked to this bird breeder and I got really excited because she had larger birds. She told me to start with something smaller, because the bigger the bird, usually the more time you had to spend with it, and at the time I was in school. So I searched for a bird with personality. I found out that every bird has its own personality, but the best bird for me happened to be a cockatiel. So I started to search everywhere for a cockatiel. I searched on Google, Facebook, etc. I found a woman in my state, and even my town! Now my town is pretty small so I didn't expect to find this. I started to look at pictures of the bird and the cage. So far I had a great deal. Cockatiels live up to about 20 years, so when I heard that she was seven years old I was like, "OK, that's fine." So I arranged a meeting with this woman. I was skeptical.
