RIP Lola June 4, 2008
Our chooky girl left us during the night. I knew it was a distinct possibility, but I really wasn’t prepared to find her this morning.
When I thought about her life recently I realised that she’d probably been ill for quite a while and we’d just assumed she was going through a flat patch or a long moult. I feel bad that I didn’t pick up on it earlier.
Mark came home from work because he didn’t have any classes this morning. He buried Lola and has planted my little fig tree on top of her. We’ve explained to Finn that she will become part of the soil and help feed the tree and make it healthy. I’m not sure he completely understood what we were getting at so I imagine there’ll be a lot more questions over the next few days and weeks.
We’ll miss Lola.
I’m sorry to hear you lost Lola.
Sorry - I’m sure she enjoyed her ride on your ark.
