Forty Three days and counting.......

Wed will be a magic number if my memory serves me correctly. There is something magical about the number 43. I can't for the life of me remember what it is, but something special about it. We've had absolutely no calls or inquiries about Chibi other than one false alarm which brought Shelly into our flock, but each and every time I turn into the subdivision off of Belair road I look in each of the trees where Chibi had at some point perched, just hoping to once again find him sitting there, waiting for me to coax him down. I know it's about as likely as me getting struck by lightning, but I guess it never hurts to keep the faith that he is still lose and enjoying his new found freedom. Ya know, humans have one attribute that most of the animal kingdom don't have, and that is one of hope. Sometimes I wonder if we'd not be better off without that particular aspect of our lives, but I think in some cases, that is what keeps people going on when obviously, there is no chance in hell the desired outcome will ever occur. Perhaps that is why we are at the top of the chain instead of somewhere mixed between apes and other mammals. For the most part, we've more or less let Chibi go, but what an event it would be if he were to show up sometime without warning. I can't remember what life has been without him and his antics, and I know, or at least I want to feel that he misses us as much as we miss him. Maybe Shelly is Chibi's replacement, albeit a far less lovable birdie when it comes to cuddling. Guess my rambling has satisfied my desires to cuddle him for now. Thank you for letting me state some feelings.. and may Chibi eventually return, and / or enjoy his new life, wherever he happens to be, hopefully happy, fed, and loved.

I was hoping when I opened up this chat that chibi was found. I'm sorry Chibi is not home

Me 2 I kept reading on hoping all of the sudden you would say and He was FOUND, i'm so sorry

We certainly respect you here, Sam. Please keep us updated, even if you end up not being able to find Chibi.

Sam,

I was hoping when I saw the tread too... I am sorry you are going through this, and know that you have many friends here on the board if you need anything. I am still hoping and praying... if at least that he found a good human to take care of him. Know that it is not that he hasn't returned becaue he didn't care for you, but most likely because he was scared and became disoriented.

hugs,

Jackie

Jackie,

I know.. I was feeling rather bad last night about Chibi being gone, and I guess I just needed to vent or express my feelings. I know all of you are with me in this, and I really appreciate it. Chibi was enjoying his freedom so much, he completely forgot about his human bonds. Again, I just hope he is still alive and well. The truth about the whole thing is really not knowing if he's alive or not.

Hugs

Sam
