[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 742783, member: 16749"] [b]♫ All You Need Is a Dove ♫[/b] Entry #1 For me, the bad year of 2020 started a few months early, when I broke my leg in early September of 2019. About five weeks later, in October, my pet dove passed away. I had never before been inclined to have a bird as a pet, until one very cold night in December of 2002, when a dove showed upon our doorstep, badly injured. My wife and I didn't know anything about caring for birds, but we took her in, and did the best that we could, not being optimistic that she would survive. As it happened, she recovered amazingly well, and was a happy, healthy, loving pet for almost seventeen years. It seemed to me that having a dove in the home just seemed to make for a more peaceful, comforting environment. It was at a very dark time in our lives when Ava came to us, and it was in another dark time that she left us. After a wait of nearly a year, having not had enough during the usual dove season for all the customers that were waiting for them, the local Bird Shop finally came though a few days ago, from a breeder who had an unusual out-of-season batch of white doves. I'm still recovering from my broken leg, and in fact, today is one year to the say since I broke it. I just had a second surgery on it about two and a half weeks ago. But finally, once again, we have a peaceful, loving, comforting dove in our home, and this makes me much happier than I otherwise would be. [ATTACH=CONFIG]344995._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
