Sky

Last December we got a cat and a bird--both from freecycle, both on the same day. Luke is our cat, and Sky was the bird--Elise's special pet.

He loved to be out flying around--and quite frankly, I don't like cages. We let him out for hours every day.

Sadly, and very unexpectedly, Sky the parakeet passed away a month ago. He was fine in the morning--flying all around and snuggling up with us, but by the afternoon he was gone. I had some heartbroken children.

 The tombstone reads, "Here lies Sky: A free bird"
