CORPORAL NEMO
"NEMO: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MILLET!"
Corporal Nemo earns the title of Commando of the Month
after his long and valiant battle for his very life!!
Against all odds, Nemo fought his way back from the brink of kidney failure,
showing an indominable *will to live*...
and he WON the battle!
A true inspiration, Nemo shares a wee bit about himself:
*********************************
My name is Nemo. Corporal Nemo. I just got a promotion! Wowzer!
Everyone says I'm special because I was sick for a long time and then got better.
But that's only a part of who I am, and what makes me special.
I mean, I'm much, much more than just my kidneys,
(although I'm really glad they are doing what they are supposed to do now,
don't get me wrong).
First of all, I'm a Parrotlet. That just makes me de facto special.
Second, I'm very very good at manipulating Hoomans to get what I want.
For example, when it's time to go back in my cage, I throw myself into the arms
of the Hooman that is about to take away my fun, and I wiggleneck him or her,
(I'm not picky), and do my best cuddle bug imitation.
That pretty much guarantees that I'll get another five minutes of freedom.
I'm also a busy guy. I have foot toys to rearrange,
and they all go in their designated places.
The blue button goes in my fresh food dish.
The ball goes in my water.
The green button goes underneath the cage paper,
and the rest of the stuff needs to be scattered in whatever Art Nouveau decor
seems fitting at the moment.
Hoomans keep tidying up my foot toys. I hate that.
I also need to tend to my spray millet on a regular basis.
Spray millet needs feeding at least every couple of hours,
otherwise it dries out too much and isn't good for scritching myself on,
(or other stuff...but we won't get into that).
Believe me, keeping spray millet happy is a full time job.
So you see, there are a lot of special things about me
that have nothing to do with being sick, or getting well,
or being on a reality show called, "Extreme Veterinary Care".
I want to move on from all of that, and just be the unique little guy I am...
going about my business, enjoying life,
and packing in as many pepper seeds as I can get a hold of.
Now if only I could find a way to lose the Paparazzi...
I do want to thank the Powers That Be for my promotion
and the chance to let you all get to know me a little better,
and for making me Commando of The Month.
I deserve it!
Corporal "Headie" Nemo
