Enid update: Bad news

I'm very sorry about Enid, Tweed. I hope that even with the Avian flu,
a third bride can be found for Shylock. Panther and Enid crossed the
bridge together, today. Hopefully, they hissed at each other
companionably.

them up on this.
I am so so sad for Shylock. It seems so unfair that he's lost such a young
wife so soon after losing Honk last year.
Finding him another girl won't be easy, there seem to be few geese around
here, and with the news that avian flu has been found in Scotland in a dead
swan, it's likely that movements of waterfowl will be banned.
Poor lad. He is in an extremely bad mood and is hissing at me a lot. I
don't blame him, he's lonely.

Sincere condolences. As I know nothing at all about geese, I am wondering
if they ever form a friendship bond with another species. Do you suppose
he would take care of some baby ducks? MLB

I'm so sorry for your and Shylock's loss. Poor Enid. You and your vet did
everything you could by her. Many purrs for her passing to the Bridge and
for Shylock and you, too.

Oh I am SO sorry. This made me cry for Honk and for you. I so hoped it
was not that serious. Please let us know what they find. Purrs to find
Honk a new friend. Poor Honk and poor Enid and poor you too. Just so
sad ***

Oh, no! I'm sorry!

Poor boy. I hope you can find him another mate.

Purrs,

Joyce

I'm so sorry Christina, for you and for Shylock. Purrs to mend your
broken hearts.

I'm so sorry to hear about Enid. Although I don't know any domestic
geese (just the wild ones that sometimes walk their babies across our
lawns), from how you described yours, I feel that they're good people.

Oh, Melissa -- I'm so sad for you, too. You did the right thing by your
good friend although I know how hard it was to do. Purrs for Panther's
crossing and for your heart.

I'm so very sorry to read this news, Tweed! Many purrs for you and for
poor Shylock! Life can be so unfair. It must be heartbreaking to have
him mourn like that. I will be very interested to hear what the autopsy
says. How kind of that vet to do it! he sounds like a good 'un.
