This photo is of my Meyers Parrot named Scooby Dooby...well, actually I named him Dooby and tell most folks his name is Scooby. I had no idea at that time that in Southern California a Doobie/Dooby/however it is spelled....is a pot joint. I had in mind my preschool days when I used to watch "Romper Room" on TV where they had a bee puppet that always did what was right. The song went: "I always do what's right. I never do anything wrong. I'm a Romper Room Do-Bee...a Do-Bee all day long." The perfect little name for my perfect little baby bird.
Then the laughs started to happen when I introduced him to people.
Live and learn.

Not to toot my own horn, but I cannot think of many people who have lived a cleaner or more wholesome life than I have lived. At my age that is almost embarrassing! There are times I wish I didn't have these stupid ethics or faith based values...Oh, the things I would do.....

The one motto that has stayed my course is the bible verse that says: "Unless the Lord builds the house they labor in vain who try to build it."

In the end, I want the good things of God. Even if it costs me. The good things of God are better (even on earth) than I would have dreamed up. Think I will stay on course a bit longer.

Well Dooby is now about 14 years old. He was 10 weeks old when I got him and he was also my first ever bird. I am thankful for Dooby. I am thankful for what I have learned through birds and the many amazing people I have connected with in the bird world.

I am thankful that I know God loves me and wants good things for me.
