Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[BHep]

Went to a local auction Sun. There were 3 ADORABLE 6-7 week old Emu babies. I sat there and listed off EVERY reason why we would not be going home with them. Ignored all the begging and pleading from my kids and my mother was with us and was just no help at all.

And we didn't come home with them...but every time I see these babies pictures, I feel myself caving.

Linda, so hard to lose one of life's companions. Hardest part of being a "mom" to fur babies or feathered babies.

(X 100000000000000000) I might be looking at having to do the same thing for one of my dogs soon.

Kathy I am just adoring your pictures and stories of the emu babies. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

As I mentioned on Monday, I made an appointment to assist my ailing Himalayan across the Rainbow Bridge. (Yes, Deb, it was the Pleasant Valley Vet Hospital, thanks for the recommendation!)

Well, His Smudgeness decided to cross without any assistance about two hours before that appointment. He chose my bedroom closet as his place of departure.

My very good friends HHandbasket and Farmer Lew came over in the evening to dig Smudge's grave and perform a Native American burial, complete with burning sage, offerings for the Cedar under which we placed him, and sang the Traveling Song for his spirit.

Smudge, as was usual for him, just wanted to do it his way.

Sincerely sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss Linda

Taking a beloved companion in to help it cross over can be one of lifes most unpleasant responsibilities

Cuddled in your closet with your sent surrounding him was so much more peaceful for your beloved!!!!!!

Just curious.... how much did they go for?

Thank you, Kathy, for that installment.

I had a friend that raised emus - actually, more than a few years ago now. I did not know that emus were water birds ... I find that fascinating.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My daughter's dog did the same thing, passed about a half hour before we left for the vets. It's difficult to lose someone you've loved and cared for all those years.

Congratulations, Deb! Great idea! If you don't need that prize, I'll take it!
