The Somber Memorial Service of Mr. Bo

Rachel was going about her morning chores when she came to the cage of Mr. BoJangles.  Her trusty friend was nowhere to be found.  You can read about our faithful starling friend here.

He had been found shivering a few days before; we assumed due to the air conditioning.  Nevertheless, she finally found him in a heap behind his makeshift nest box.  Dead.As with all of our dearest animal friends, Mr. BoJangles had a fitting place prepared for him in our pet cemetery.  It was just his size.


After contemplating the irony of life and death, we each placed a handful of dirt on the friendly bird's carcass and had a greater understanding of the fragility of life.


Mr. BoJangles will always hold a special place in our remembrances.
