We have had a sad couple of days around our house. Our sweet little pet chicken Angle Rose has gone on to a better place. Yesterday, after church, we had plans to have FHE with Matt's family. Emily had every intention of putting Rosie in her cage while we were gone. But, Emily hit her head on the corner of a dresser drawer and the blood started to gush! For such a little wound there was a LOT of blood. That was enough to put us behind schedule and we rushed out the door and forgot about Rosie! She has been left out before with no major problems so we thought nothing of it when we realized when we got home what we had forgotten to do. I told Emily that she would probably find her outside asleep somewhere. Well... after an exhaustive search of our little backyard we came up empty. She just diapered! Poor little Emily cried her little heart out. It can be really hard to learn the "Circle of Life" lesson. We will miss our little friend and have already printed pictures for Emily that she has placed in her room so that she can always remember her first pet.
