Thomas came into our home on this day in 2013. Sadly, he was with us for less than a year, but in that short time, made an enormous impact on the flock.
Here is a video of him preening Phineas. They were good friends when not competing for Cagney’s attention!
On this day, 8 years ago, Dalai came into our home. Here is a video of him playing on the swinging perch. At times he makes it look like he is not quite sure what he is doing, but I am pretty sure each movement was planned!
This time last year, when I celebrated 6 years of having Perry & Lennie in my life, I never thought for a moment that this year both would have gone to Rainbow Bridge. Yes, Perry had a lot of health issues in his later years but he somehow managed to power on through them all, until February when he finally left us. Losing Lennie so soon after Perry was painful but I could not help but think of him joining his best friend. Perry was Lennie’s rock – always there to provide the consistency & stability that Lennie needed.
They were very different characters – Perry’s laid back style complimented Lennie’s more hesitant nature. The video I have chosen for this day is of them both during quarantine. You can see how comfortable & loving they were with each other.
It was my absolute honour to share my life with these beautiful boys. I loved every minute (yes, even all the worry & drama!) of having them.
