Sorry I haven't been here much lately

Your friend should respect the fact that you don't like him saying things about your animals. I wouldn't let a friend say anything about my animals. When he is in your home he should follow your rules. I wouldn't cover the bird. I would throw a cover over the person who insulted the bird.
I tend to not have people over because I don't want to give them a chance to even comment on my animals. I am as protective as you. Our pets mean a lot to us.


I am glad you can walk a bit. If you can do your own shopping it will really help. Suzy will be so glad you can take her out. 
Just remember to not push it too far to fast. After you walk a little make sure you rest your foot. Soon enough you will be healed and back to normal. It is great the progress you have made.
Take care and rest after each walk. Your foot will thank you.
