Hi folks,
Tonight,
9th Oct 2004 is the last night that I put
Tinkerbell to sleep in her bedroom. We have been
telling
her over the last week the situation and that
we
loved her and we hope she will be back with us
soon.
Perhaps
she knew more than we thought she knew. Her
recall
flights to us saw even more strange displays.
In one
flight to me at the school field, she came to
me over
30 meters to soar upwards and circled twice.
She
broke out of the circle to resume flight to point
of
departure and came back to me.
She was
calling and calling softly in baby googoo. She
demanded
more and more of my swinging of her in her
hoop
swing. Then she flew to me for her pre bed
headrubs and was extraordinary feisty with me. She
mouthed
me hard on the chest and struck me with her
wings
repeatedly. She flew to my shoulder and knee
and
hand to preen and preen herself. Then she finally
allowed
me to put her to her bedroom with a last head
rub.
That
allowed me to get to my PC for this final upload
of
photos. Some had been taken much earlier but were
not
uploaded. Most have been more recent, in trips
meant
to be wrote about but remained on backburners
because
of breaking news on her. This will be the last
time I
add photos. I do not think I have the heart to
do that
from tomorrow.

Folks,
I am sorry if I did not respond to your emails
one by
one, publicly or privately. I read all and am
very
touched. I am touched that so many of you enjoyed
our
interlude together and shared our happiness, our
joys,
our fights, and our quarrels as we negotiate our
accomodations with each other and our time in my
emails
and photos over the last 3 years.
I
should say for the last 6 weeks or so when we came
home on
the bike, On parking the bike, I removed her
line,
and later, her harness as well before we get
into
the apartment. Shw was totally unharnessed.
And
she
flew on cue to me and we walked into the
apartment.
Quite a few times before, I walked out
with
her and then realised I forgot to clip the main
lin to her harness. She knew, and never made any
attempt
to fly off. When she was with the Yu family,
Yu told
me she called and screamed whenever he drove
past my
neighbourhood indicating she knew the area.
I felt
it should be safe to do what I did. I was also
confident
if she flew away, it would not be far from
me and
I would be able to get her down. Needless to
say, I
got to strongly advise you do not follow what I
did
with Tinkerbell and you should only remove leash
and
harness in safety of your house.
