I can't beleive I didn't notice.

I decided to clip Darius's nails today or at least see if he would let me if I made a game out of it. Well I was very shocked when I picked up left foot and saw that he only had 3 toes the 4th is just a little nub its the toe that would normally be the smallest toe facing back. I must be getting old or something I've had him for a month and a half and I'm just noticing now that he's only got 3 toes on 1 foot I'm so dumb founded I play with him everyday he lays onhis back on my lap and I tickle his feet and I never noticed that he only had 3 toes. Maybe I never noticed because it doesn't stop him from doing things all birds do he hangs like a bat and climbs without effort. I better keep a better eye on my baby's if I missed that what else have I missed. Bad MOMMY BAD

You could never be a bad mommy..You have always been on top of your game for me and phoebe.Thanks so much for helping me a month ago with phoebe. you was a life saver.:cheer:

Pat

 

Not to worry. Age does strange things to those who are experiencing that phase of life. Memories, graduation from elementary school, prom night, numbers of toes ( by the way people have ten)but you knew that ,right?

[Tycos_mom]

Hahaha I'm not that old I still have a good 30or40 yrs before I going to even classify myself old. I bet I'm younger than you are Dave

[Dave007]

You probably are quite younger but on the other hand I can still count fingers and toes especially when I'm looking at them. I majored in math back in those days.

Your Darius convinced you he was complete and perfect, you have seen through his Jedi mind trick. I am certain he is still perfect though. Pookie had most of one toe missing as well, she doesn't notice so I don't remind her.

[JillyBeanz]

Ah, poor Darius, but it clearly doesn't bother him!!! After I read this I have just been and checked Harvey's toes, I can't remember ever counting them either!! All present and correct!

 

Dave would you be oh so kind to send an abacus to me too - I think I need help - I've just counted my own - is seven on one side and six on the other normal? :laugh:

[Dave007]

There's no need to send you anything. You've stated your problem quite well. The only thing I can say is that I feel that it's sad that you must spend a huge amount of time in shoe stores OR maybe you've found one that already understands. Of course, there's always an extreme answer floating around--amputation. You need to be strong though. Explain it to your love. Sit down and just figure out the amount of money that will be saved each year.

Ha Ha! I wear slippers all of the time - I wondered why my mother wouldn't buy me those lovely stillettos all those years ago - "just wear these lovely terry towelling slippers" she told me!! :laugh:

[Greywings]

I have an Umbie Too who can help you get into those designer shoes...but that would cut down on your bird toy money.

[judygram]

Well its evident that missing part of his toe does not hinder him in what he does, he doesn't know he is any different from any other bird, so he has a flaw, don't we all.

[Greywings]

I have a friend who is working with two footless Greys that are a year old and one more adult with a little bit of foot that just joined her. They play more on their backs like a kitten but still get around and even balance on a perch. Don't tell the that they are missing anything.

[Tycos_mom]

I have told Darius about his missing toe what he doesn't know won't hurt himnLOL
