I made that last post with the painting, and looked up from doing so to see a cooper's hawk killing my favorite bird, Jasper. I can't believe how devastating this has been for me. I really loved that bird. My husband is out burying her next to my rooster. It's been so hot the last few days she's been in my freezer for a cool enough day to bury her. In the mean time, the 100 degree, 80% humidity day we got caused a relapse of sickness in another bird, so I'm trying to keep from burying another pet. Wish me luck
