Well, Rocky is not the only chick who passed away. Viola also passed away. She went home with one of our farm families and I just received word this morning that she is gone. She was small but we thought she was fine. If you watch her video you can see she looked pretty good. Maybe less perky than the others...I guess with so many eggs that hatched we are bound to lose a couple. At least Rocky isn't alone.
My late pal Shiloh will look after Viola, too. Shiloh was the "great protector" in our family. Viola and Rocky will have a steadfast friend in critter heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Shiloh is with our babies. How sad that he is in critter heaven too. :(
ReplyDeleteSummerland is a wonderful place (i.e., Paul's third heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4)--no more aches, pains, diseases, and nasty stuff like that. Shiloh and the chicks are romping around over there. We miss their physicality, but love transcends, as Emerson said.
