I am blessed in so many ways! I'm doing all I can for us to have a good start together. My Persian cat just recently started having issues with his eye again. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow which will probably result in eye surgery. He had surgery on his other eye a couple of years ago. I'm really stressed about it as it means a couple of days lost work and at least two weeks of intensive post care. The last time meant a corneal graft and I'm hoping I caught it early enough to avoid that this time. I worry so much when one of my animal babies are sick that I can't sleep or think of much else. I really stress out about it because I want to stay home from work to be with them but I can't. Even so, I'm thankful that the worst of this should be behind us before I go to bring Gabby home. I'd hate to bring her home when I'd be so stressed. I hope that our experience resembles the one you have with your TAG. I've always wanted a Congo but the Timneh came up for availability first. A lot of the research I've done suggests that the Timneh has less fear issues than the Congo and is a more relaxed bird. That sounds great to me (if that's the case), but I do like the Congo's bright red tail. What it all comes down to, for me, is the amount of companionship we can have together. I'm really looking forward to getting to know her.
