I not pointlessly understand your missing him. I miss our first two and Redrock. They all were such blessings to us, gifts from God and we are thankful for the two we have now, even tho Rosie has, it seems, decided it's spring (not even December 15th yet) because she's woken up for 4 days straight now and has sported a serious
black beard and yes, she's a girl, she laid 22 eggs last spring (March or April, can't remember when just now). I think she will lay eggs again sometime in the next few months. I have tasked my husband to get a picture of her
black beard. She went after Goldie on Saturday afternoon so I picked her up and told her she was a bad girl and put her back into her tank when she'd only been outside for a minute or two. If she goes after her sister, Goldie, she will be unable to stay outside, even if she wants it.
