Fly free beautiful Kiwi!
That I do....When an interviewer asked Dr. Pepperberg about Alex, she answered that she "would always have an Alex-shaped hole in her heart." I think we all feel the same way. It's obvious that you have a Kiwi-shaped hole in your heart, Leslie. Fly free, little angel.
Leslie, I never forgot that thread on the "old board" where you began the struggle to give Kiwi the life and love she deserved. And what a wonderful life you two had together, although way too short. And in regard to dealing with the loss of such a special friend, I know that time mixes the grief with joy.
Kiwi , thank you for continuing to look out for Mom.
