I finally got Jasper on Saturday! What a sweetheart, he is so adorable. Once I transfer all the pictures from my camera I'll share Every time he stretches he makes this cute baby noise, it's so funny.
With that being said I have some bad news I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with I was trying to get vacation time in last month to go away for a week before I got him, but sadly coordinating with my fiance (who lives in another city) turned out to be a lot harder. The only time he could get is Sept 12-19.
I'm heartbroken thinking about leaving him already. I took him for his first vet visit last night (he decided he didn't need ANY tests b/c the breeder guaranteed their breeding pair was negative for all 4 common ones), and I talked about having him boarded there while I'm away.
I'd have to board him from the 11th to 20th because of flight times. That's a week and 2 days where I won't be with him Also, they told me they can't take him out of the cage while he's there b/c they'll have other animals.
I don't know anyone in Montreal and I'd really rather leave him with family but they're in Ottawa and I'm not sure they'd be comfortable with a fairly big parrot (at that point for 2 weeks since my fiance only comes here on weekends).
I don't know what to do. Should I cancel my holiday? I feel awful.
