smile_n_cuddle | Sophia update...

Sophia's doing better still. Yesterday I went to the fabric store and bought "1/16th a yard of each of these fabrics, please." The fabric lady wanted to *kill* me. I got 6 different types of fabric for Soph to try out. (I put all the fabric away when she was done cutting them so that she wouldn't hate me for forever.) Some had beads attached. Some had little fuzzy fabric bits attached, some were embroidered... I figured she'd enjoy picking at them b/c she loves putting buttons through fabric in general. And she absolutely loves them. Made a bunch more toys for her as well, so she thinks she's in parrot=heaven, except when I give her baths and dab bitter-apple on her bad feathers. It is working though--she doesn't preen those spots as much. She started preening the under-side of her tail instead. *sigh*

I think it might be allergy-related too. It did start when she started having bad allergies. I may try her on some children's benedryl. A friend uses that. I'll call the vet tomorrow. She's really hyper today... So am I... But back to studies!
