Memorial Day

It was a great weekend.Very busy.On Friday I got to come home a little early. I had a rough couple of days.Ellie had been very sick and we only got about 3 hrs. of sleep on Wednesday night and then on Thursday night I had some problems with Sherise and didn't get to sleep until about 2:00 and was up @ 6:30.Any way I was on the couch trying to get some sleep when I heard this screech.Richard came in holding this beautiful bird.He and the kids had rescued it from Rolo.


Twix thought it was so interesting.We put it in a box and covered it to see if it was ok.When it had calmed down a bit we took it outside to see if it could fly.It had a broken wing.Our intentions were to try to nurse it back to health,but Twix had other ideas.We had locked her inside so she wouldn't harm the bird, well I had gone inside to wash my hands,and Twix got out.Got the bird, and broke its neck.The kids were so sad.Twix got scolded by Ellie and she called her the bird killer for the rest of the day.I have not seen these birds around to much, but they are beautiful.
