Here in lies the issue. I was visiting my boy Tucker at the refuge, and he was a no-brainer, took to me very quickly like we were old friends. When I went out back to bring him to his cage, there was a "hello... hello," coming from the other side of the room. There was Baxter, leaning out to reach me. I was warned that she's very particular, and only likes women with short hair. Her body language said otherwise. I put an arm up for her and she climbed up and put her head down for skritches. Turns out that I was the only male she's allowed to handle her, period! She's been there for about a year. On the next weekend's visit with Tucker, she was out front, and was excited to see me. I had already determined that Tucker was coming home with me, but then, here is this beautiful Amazon wanting to be with me too. I hung out with her also during the visit and she talked, whistled, and snuggled up against my neck, and begged for head scratches. I feel special, and chosen! I keep hoping she will be like that with another person, but last I checked, no one yet. My heart goes out to her.
The only thing holding me back from bringing her home is wanting to be fair to both of them. I hate the thought of jealousy for my time between them, and I work during the day, so morning and evening time is at a premium.
