The loss of a dear friend



When we returned from the beach we had an unexpected guest. The rooster you see in this picture is that guest. We were quite surprised. He turned into my best friend. He followed me, ate from my hand, sat on the porch swing with me, watched me water our garden, etc. I think he thought he was a cat/dog. We had many special moments together. That all ended Tuesday when I woke to find feathers throughout the yard and in a bush. I have searched high and low for him, but to know avail. My heart is broken and this is the first I have been able to write about it. Everytime I look at the garden I can't help but cry and let me tell you I have done alot of that. At least we had some good memories of him and have picture of him with the rabbit someone dropped here last fall.
