I also feed the doves I see in my area every once in a while.  They're crazy about rye bread.  I used to have a lot more around here, but I think someone poisoned them.  Now we have mainly pigeons and starlings.  They're not quite as elegant. >:(

Yes, my mother's friend has a white dove she keeps at home.  It belonged to her son, who used to do magic tricks with it, but she got stuck with it when he left for college, lol.  My mom tells me she hears it cooing whenever she's over that lady's house.

Yes the make alot of cooing and Poohing   :-\

Nice baby Ginnies.  They're Gizmo colored.  Cute colored chicks too.  By the way, Skip, do you eat the chickens eventually, or just keep them as pets.  Don't give any animals to the Babalama campaign.  Those wired haired terriers make for great photos.  You should enter them in a dog competition.

Skippy, I used to have a little Yorkshire terrior- only his ears never stood up. LOL  His name was Bobby. (After the movie, 'Greyfrier's Bobby)





I also used to have a silver persian chinchilla  cat that looked like the one in the pic. Her name was Lisa..but she ended up being called 'Weezie' like Louise in 'The Jeffersons'. LOL
She was the most beautiful little thing.

Sounds like they should be in elementary school.
You described half of bullcat jr's schoolmates.  ;)

Both Bobby (the dog) and Lisa (the cat) have passed on- several years ago.
I cried for weeks afterward. I still miss them.

Yes, they are always with you. Over the many years, and countless animals I have rescued and rehomed, many I also had to have put to sleep. They are forever in your memory, apart of your life, that can never be replaced. The short time you share is a gift.

G-d have given people the ability to remember fondly of our special moments, in a way nothing is really lost, only misplaced for a time.
