THIS REMINDS ME OF THE EVENING WE WERE CALLED
TO RESCUE A BIRD HANGING BY FISHING LINE HIGH
IN A TREE UNDER THE SOUTH BRIDGE. BY THE TIME
WE GOT A LADDER, NIGHT HAD FALLEN AND THE DOVE
HAD PERISHED.  AS I CLIMBED UP TO RETRIEVE IT'S
BODY, MY FLASHLIGHT BEAM CAUGHT THE DISTRAUGHT
 LOOK OF ANOTHER DOVE WATCHING FROM THE BRANCH
ABOVE.  I'M SURE THEY WERE PARTNERS AND I'M
SURE THEY BOTH SUFFERED.

Hi Gina,

Thank you for sending this to me.
It reminds me of the scripture:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
Yet not one of them is forgotten by God" Luke 12:6

Animals do have brains and feelings,
and they are so pure of heart they are
unashamed let them show.

When my daughter was a young teen, she lost her first horse.

She asked a preacher friend of ours if horses go to heaven.

He replied, "Animals live their lives in God's will.

They don't know sin.

They never leave his presence in the first place."

Very moving, I can relate. My parakeet, Tweedle Dee was
 doing so poor and finally died. 
He took care of her and cried for days!
