Everything seemed okay, but....

'Morning Kit,

Hasn't it been wonderful to watch all of the birds outside our window at the feeders and the bird bath?

You've had a great week during which you spent many hours in the sun on the deck. I don't think that you even heard the birds around you as it seems like you could be losing your hearing.

Yesterday was sad, huh? We found a beautiful blue jay with an injured

wing hopping around the back yard. We told our neighbors about it and then made a decision as to what we should do. We had to do the right thing as this was going to serve as a lesson for the children living next door who grace our lives. After a 3-hour round trip out to the Wild Life Sanctuary at Tuft's University I returned home to tell the children that sadly the little bird had passed on. At least he was safe and not in pain anymore.

When I came home, I found you bleeding again. Kit, what is this all about? Aren't the steroids working? Just when everything seems to be okay with the birds singing, the squirrels chasing each other through the backyard and you seemingly blissful, it all changes.

Please stop hiding under the bed (that's a bad sign) and come out to eat your breakfast.

Love,

Sharon
