Bela is gorgeous; thanks for sharing his story with us, and also MAD PROPS for being the Designated Human for a cockatoo. I have a friend who had a 'too for many years, and his experience with AJ (RIP) was very similar to yours.

My red-butted jungle chickens send their regards to you & your flock.

HUGE SUCCESS

Could it be done as a musical? 🥺

We remind ourselves of the pain so that we never forget.

That is a fair question. In this instance, "leftover" is about context, as in "any not taken by trick-or-treaters".

Given enough time, there are no leftover Peppermint Patties.

100%, "fictive kin" is an actual thing. (At an Indian wedding I went to a while back, ALL of the older generation were instantly "auntie" and "uncle" to us, even though we had never met and weren't even related.)

That would be a pretty big bang. And no small quantity of paperwork.

Thanks for sharing this. It was a fun watch, although I did die inside a little at a couple of spots. :-)

👋

Yup.

Here is Reggie, gone nearly ten years but her hairs still turn up from time to time.

I was getting ready to weave, so I was loomscrolling.
