Some of you probably know that I just moved into a new house with Matt… Unfortunately that was apparently a stupid move. Last Monday we got into a really stupid argument which ended up with me getting pushed around. That is one thing that I absolutely will not put up with and I’ve pretty much only been at the house since then when I know he is not going to be there. Every night I’ve been going home to take care of the animals and then leaving before he gets home after the birds are asleep.

I will be moving out, no question about that but I’m not sure that I will find a place that I can take all of the animals soon enough. My parents said that I can stay with them and bring some of the birds but I know that my father will not be able to handle the conure scream so I’m thinking that I am going to need to find someone to foster them for a while. My parents dog would also try to kill my cats so I have no idea what I’m going to do about them. I plan on calling the rescue tonight but I know that they are up to just about all they can handle right now because we’ve had tons of surrenders lately. I’ve got a few other people I can call that will likely take them in but just in case I cannot get something to work out with those two options I wanted to let you all know what’s going on in case anyone has any contacts in the area that might be able to foster short term for me.

Melissa, I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish I still lived in STL because I would so try and help you out. I'll be praying that you are able to find fosters for your birds and cats. Wishing you the best.

I wish I could help. :( Unless you have a really small bird that is really tame and already have a cage for them...:huh: Maybe, just maybe, that would work...

Playing nice isn't a solution. Some kind of anger management and relationship counselling would be a start.

I will keep you and your fabies in my prayers.
