Poor little thing. Something had to be done about the body though, so I got a tissue and put it in the garbage, then took the garbage out. Felt kind of bad about that but then again it wasn't a pet..."never saw a wild thing sorry for itself" and all that. I can't figure out why it died on my balcony - the drapes are always shut so I don't think it hit the window. Maybe it just landed there to die...that would make sense - anything within five miles that is lost, injured or dying seems to make its way to me.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985604812526443431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266983.post-13227023507839541372008-07-06T12:06:00.000-07:002008-07-06T12:06:00.000-07:00kool ideas if u like that go on this...http://love...kool ideas if u like that go on this...<BR/><BR/>http://love2evol.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266983.post-16002624213144692312008-06-19T10:29:00.000-07:002008-06-19T10:29:00.000-07:00It is a horrendous awakening to see a dead bird ly...It is a horrendous awakening to see a dead bird lying on the balcony, I have just discovered there is one laying on its side, I imagine it tried to fly in the window to sit on the tree I have inside. I am horrified to leave it there, thinking of the decay and the injustice of a beautiful life. I am horrified to touch it but I must do something before I leave the apartment. I will take a heavy duty plastic garbage bag, and wrap, and roll it all up, then I don't know, I don't want to put it in the garbage bin, and I don't have a shovel. I am somewhat hesitant to leave the house, I hope this is not a bad omen for something horrible to follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266983.post-35720702530353482842007-10-12T21:45:00.000-07:002007-10-12T21:45:00.000-07:00For the record, the day after I wrote this post, I...For the record, the day after I wrote this post, I got a coupler of plastic bags and carefully deposited the dead bird in the garbage can in the office kitchen.E.

A lot of the time, I'm truly just as cranky or self-centred as anyone else ;) (Animals are special though... sometimes I do like them more than people.)<BR/><BR/>Reaching out in small social ways to people with good hearts under rough exteriors, like dear old Bob, has I hope made me a better person. The mix was a little bit of me, and a little bit of him, really. But mine was the easy part. Bob was the one doing all the hard work of rebuilding himself. I saw glimpses of it; how he tried to drag himself up by his own bootstraps... :)E.

Not only did you read my post, but you took the time to comment on it. I guess stupidity attracts stupidity. Why don't you write you own blog instead of lurking around on others' leaving such "witty" remarks?E.
