Ferry and Ezzy Have a New Home

[dakski]

You made the right decision, I'd say- you can still visit them, & they're also going to further the education that Center can do. I know it's hard to give up an animal, but we can't always know where the future will take us, no matter how well we plan. Please don't feel like you failed them, because you did no such thing. Taking care of pets means taking care of our own health too, always.

Boger,

Thank you so much for the kind words. I know I did right by them and I am happy with that. I also think this will allow me to enjoy the animals I have and not feel so overwhelmed at times. Those are all good things.

It is difficult though because my health over the years has made me make a lot of sacrifices. I am not going to complain as I am still here and fighting and enjoying every day as much as I can. There are also many people not as fortunate as I am in life, love, and even health. I count my blessings every day.

I am glad I will be able to know how they are doing and get to see them. Brian (the owner of the reptile center) thinks he's going to set Ezzy up in one of the displays in the front of the zoo. That would be really cool.

I donated their tanks so he can quarantine them appropriately and have an alternative if he wants them more for education, etc. They are nice boaphiles and served them well with me. The center is going to give some "experiences" to us in exchange for the tanks. More on that later.

Apparently many people donate neglected animals and Brian was very happy with how well they were cared for and the overall collection. He was very impressed with Solana as the Scaleless animal he has was an abandoned Texas Rat that has some scarring (they found it outside here in CT). She's the only animal I really introduced him too. He did see Yafe on his branches and was impressed with how healthy he was as well, especially given the story about when I got him.

Anyway, I really do appreciate your perspective.
