I guess I'll enter,


My summer was exciting but also very sad.
All my doves came down ill. First it was my oldest dove, Pichon. I hadn't been with him for five days so I thought maybe he was mourning. A few days later when I came to pick him up from my brother who was "watching him", he passed away. No, that was the end of it. A week later Smarty, my egg layer and photo trained dove, fell ill. Within three days she was very weak and by the early morning on the 3rd day, she passed in my hands. Alexander, also fell ill. But did he make it? Yes!!! It's been about 7 weeks now and he has gotten to a "good" point. I had him on 3 medications and 5 vitamins. I spent days and nights helping him. He was nearly at his end. He couldn't hold his head up and I was thinking he would have passed within a few hours. Now, still on vitamins is able to eat drink and fly again.

Here is Smarty looking down at a flower during her photo shoot.
