CC I like the way you reached back to this memory - feeling the 'probably' and truly then, feeling about the loss of this Magpie.  Very touching to me.  EE

this little guy obviously touched you in a very real way and still holds a place in your memories...pets are like that, big or small they become part of the family....

Re: magpie
Glad to hear your news Bob. Well I sometimes feel for animals, even chickens. Nature is cruel it is a job to get a lion to eat grass. Pretty fair thank you Bob defying providence.

So sad, so very well written, and obviously a memory that pains you somewhat my friend. Have a fine weekend of joy and relaxation

Those are the sort of feelings that will stay with a person forever.

Hello, I'm back (sort of).  Only yesterday I found myself wondering if goldfish ever yearn for - well - something more.  No kidding!  We must be on some weird wavelength together.

i don't know about you, but that thought scares the hell out of me! 

 I used to be a guide at a wild animal zoo populated by animals that are physically or emotionally unable(brought up as pets) to survive in their normal habitat. It was sad watching the coyote and the raccoon pacing back and forth.  We even had a nasty rattler behind glass with a nasty appetite for the petrified mice that got dropped in each day.  No one consulted them first.

Gin finally had her neurosurgery today and except for being groggy from sedation and getting up at 4 this morning, she's here at home resting comfortably.  It's good to be back, even this much!  How are you?

Poignant and wonderfully written, CC!
  I had a tiny turtle that I used to take around and show to the neighborhood, then when a favorite tv program or school time came, back to his lonely cage he went.
