Question for today.
What is or was your favorite pet?
For me it was a parakeet I had about 35 years ago. He was great. Every morning he would come wake me up by landing on my bed an nibbling on my eye lashes then chirp at me. He just wanted to play.
Mine was my dog Titan. He passed away in November of 2024 and life has been very difficult since. He was my best friend and greatest companion. He traveled the journey with me while I was in active addiction and spent the last 8 years of his life traveling the road of recovery. Miss that dude.
I think my favorite would have to be my pet parrot. His name was Rainbow. I was about 7 yrs old when I had him. I used to sit and talk to him all day and share my apples with him. He loved the apple peelings. And one summer some people broke into our house and let him go. I live in northern Minnesota. I didn’t think he survived. But, years later I found out he survived and a man camping; came across him while eating an apple. And of course it got Rainbow’s attention. They took him in and he lived out his life.
It’s sad that you lost Rainbow but I was happy to hear that it turned out well for him. You’re time spent sharing apples turned to be a gift well beyond the tasty apples and time spent together.
