    I have no idea what you're talking about specifically, but I have had the same emotional connection to certain animals that I had never met. Animals that i felt so bad for, and that I tried helping with but the owners were unwilling. I tried so hard to adopt this dove that a lady was going to have PTS because she didn't want to rehome it into a bad home. One evening (and mind you, I was only 16 years old at the time and she was between 55 and 60 years old) I talked to her for almost 5 hours on the telephone trying to convince her that I was a very responsible person. That I loved my animals and took wonderful care of them. I offered her to come to my moms house and see the condition of my animals, and see how much I loved them and how well taken care of they were. I told her the first thing I will do is get a huge cage for the bird and it will love it. I exhausted myself trying to get on her good side so she wouldn't needlessly euthanize this bird just because she didn't want it going into a bad home. I was a good kid. A very sensitive, responsible kid. In the end, I wasted nearly 5 hours on the phone with this woman, and she ultimately put the bird to sleep because she was too stuborn and stupid to at least try, for the animals' sake. I still think about this bird and that was around 16 years ago.

    You had better keep posting here, you're a wonderful person and I completely enjoy every single post you make!

    Thank you AMD for your kind words.

    So very sorry about that dove. At least you tried and tried very hard. Some people just can not be persuaded. (I lived with one of those. It was about as useful as talking to a box filled with outer space. ...A brick wall has more sensitivity. ;-/ )
