Dave's Departure

Dear Dave,

Where are you, Dave? I miss you so much. I walk over wanted to greet you, but you was nowhere to be found. I search through your favourite sleeping place, but to no avail. I can't believe you leave me without saying goodbye.


~ Dave finally decided to leave ~

The memories are still fresh in my mind. Do you still remember the day? It was 15 March 2008, a rainy day. You landed on my yard, wet, bleeding and scared. You were petrified, unable to move, eat or drink. I whisper to your ears 'Don't give up'.


~ The injured and terrified, Dave ~

It felt just like yesterday, that I met you, but 5 months had past. You had nurse back to your prime health. You never understand how thrill I felt when I saw you flapping your wings every night. I teased that your flying skill is lousy, but you never gave up.


~Dave practise vigorously every night~

~ After 5 months, the handsome Dave ~

The day had come when you had decided to leave me behind. I understand. You need to return to where you belong, the place you can find true happiness and enjoy the freedom. You had finally become a beautiful pigeon, spreading out your magnificient wings, soaring high above the horizon. I hope you will never forget me.

~ Dave returns to where he belongs ~

Now, whenever I gaze up the sky, I know I had a pigeon friend, named Dave. You proved to everyone out there, that they are wrong. Broken wing did not stop you from flying again. You showed me ruthless determination can overcome all obstacle in life. I am so proud of you, my one and only birdie pal. I hope you will always remember me, I know I will.

Love,
Pacco


~ I miss you, Dave. I always will ~

Hi Pacco, it's bittersweet when your friend, Dave, flies away to join his friends in the sky. we're so happy to hear that he is healed and well and strong again. you took good care of him and helped him to be a bird again. but you had to set him free. it's not fair to keep a healthy bird in a cage. you're a good dog, Pacco, to let your friend Dave go back to his bird friends. we're sure he will always remember you fondly.

Pacco, how wonderful you are. You helped nurse Dave back to health and now he is one with the wild again! You should be so proud of yourself. I'm sure Dave will always remember how wonderful you were to him!

Your pal,

Maybe Dave will stop by and visit you sometimes. Next time we see a pigeon, we will ask it if it knows Dave. If it does, we won't chase it.

Simba and Jazzi said...

So many blogs to catch up on. Hope everyone is fit and well.

Aww, that's so sad, but rest assured that Dave is happily flying in the sky, and he could be watching you!

Deetz said...

Awe, I am sorry Dave went away, but I just know in my heart that he will come back and visit you when you are least expecting it. I know he was so grateful to have landed in your yard. You will see him again.

Hi Pacco,
That's a beautiful story of determination. Dave had perseverance and kept trying, and eventually he could fly. It's sad that he's gone, but he's now roaming the skies with his kind.
Happy NOMS day by the way! This is a great story fur today!
Wags and licks,

What a lovely story, Pacco. I'm sure you took good care of Dave. You should tell your Ms. Owner that you can take much better care of small injured animals than a HORSE could.

And tell her if she really wants a horse maybe she should consider a horse-dog (like me) next. That way she has her horse, you have your dog friend!

Harrumph!

Hi Paco--

I just got to Martha's Vineyard and now I need your help!

I am running for the Plum TV-MV Dog of the Month contest and the Aug. 15 deadline is looming. I have hardly any votes cause Ms. Alpha ran a terrible PR campaign. So I'm asking all my doggie friends to go to this website and paw out your vote by clicking on Fenway!
