Bought some books in our local bookshop for the very last time today. Desperately sad day.

already did (except the "life goes on" stuff, which i think is insensitive), as that is what she said to me. she said "this is just where i'm supposed to be right now, i'm sad but i'll be ok."

yes, as you said and as you know, even though i'm sure you yourself haven't been there in a long time, much easier said than done.
i've been there, and she was there for me. it's my turn to return the favor.

It's the same injury as before - I guess the vet was wrong when she said India
was completely healed - looks broken again to me. I'm taking her in to get it checked
out later today. As a General Falconer, I can keep 2 raptors, so I there's no big
rush to find a place for her. I can still acquire another bird to hunt with and keep her
as long as I need to to make sure she goes to the best home I can find for her.
The vet I take her to runs an org. called Bird of Prey Foundation and I think they
rehab and place birds that have been injured. I'm so sad for India, though.

oh, r. that IS sad.

Aw, dang. Tendon damage? That sucks, man. I guess it's not feasible to keep her, as a 'pet'. They're not really wired that way, are they?
