It was given to me by Glenn and Jen, a thank you for keeping Koa fed and entertained for a few weeks one winter while they vacationed some place warm.
Remember Koa? She's the long-legged dog I swear is part giraffe, who de-tailed Pablo parrot one day when I let Koa in and forgot Pablo was out of his cage. I'm not sure who instigated the fight, but I have reason to suspect a little green and yellow bird might be the guilty culprit. When I remembered and raced upstairs to see if the bird was still alive, I found all these feathers acattered around the carpet.
Other than having a sore tail from de-feathering, only Pablo's ego was hurt.
Post-partum mini-tail
Tail feathersKoa was suitably chastised.
But back to the Kleen Kanteen.
It has a lot of things going for it:
It's much better than the plastic soda bottles I had used.
It's the right size at 27 oz.
It's made of food grade stainless steel.
It's non-toxic.
It's lightweight.
Ice cubes can fit in its wide mouth.
It's dishwasher safe.
It's stronger than my tail bone.
On the downside:
It's stronger than my tailbone.
I found that out by falling on it while trying to back out of a brushy ditch.
Ever since then I've been sitting down very, ve-e-e-e-r-r-r-y carefully.
Stupid bone connected to de tailbone...
