3. Her home is in our living room. We'll miss her "Hello" at the door.
|
She always announced Mr. ITW's car when it turned onto our street.
This is going to be so hard for him. 
Thank you |

Birds are so smart, affectionate and funny. I bet Miss Pookie was a delight. Cockatoos are quite the characters.

Is it possible to adopt an older small dog?
I'm too old to adopt another parrot. Miss Pookie was adopted when she was 2 or 3 years old. Nothing can replace the love we've lost this year. I am thinking about adding a pair of parakeets to our family. A bit more chirping would be nice. |

|
One of the vets I've seen specializes in birds (her license plate reads BIRDDR) so you may have connections. I adopt older dogs and they seem to find me. I know how much love you have to give and the creatures in your home are very lucky, my friend.

48. I just brought Miss Pookie's 1st cage inside to warm up.
|
We have agreed to buy parakeets. The bar spacing is OK for budgies and larger birds.
I thought of calling the local ASPCA. My search is on. |

May Pidge and Spike live many more years.
Miss Pookie's feathers are part of a Dream Catcher I made several years ago. She will be with me always. |
