In November of '05 I went into the local Petland and fell in love... again! This time it was a bird, a ##atoo that I named Maggie. For the "older" of us on here... remember the bird from the show Baretta? Maggie is the same breed, a Triton. From the moment I brought him home, I knew there was SOMETHING wrong with him, just not what it was. I took him to an excellent avian only vet and $1500.00 later I was given a "diagnosis"... PDD. I won't go into what it is here... to read more about this horrible disease, check out Dr. Ritchie's PDD Website Chances are great that Maggie will have to be euthanized as a young bird, he just made his first birthday last month. When I have to make that decision, it will likely kill me but I will. I never thought it possible to love anything or anyone as much as I did Dexter but Maggie flapped his wings right into that empty hole in my heart, left by Dexter. There isn't a day that I don't think about my Dekkie-Boy but now it is with a smile and a laugh, only occasionally a tear. With the two year anniversary coming up, I have been crying more than usual but Maggie sure keeps me busy! Here is the most beautiful bird in the world!

Dexter, you will forever be in my heart. I've missed you everyday since you were taken from me on August 17th, 2004 but we will meet again.

God said: "What you do unto the least of Mine, so you have done unto Me."

Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out.  Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable.  Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice.  He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.  ~Mark Twain

Please, help Dr. Branson Ritchie fight PDD!! If you have even a dollar or two, or just some spare time to donate, go to The Stop PDD Website and help us end this killer! The bird you save might be your own!
