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!!
