A Farewell to Wings


Tonight Jazmine went to a new home. We decided that taking him with us to Denmark didn't really make sense. It would probably have been too much strain on the little guy, especially having to travel on a long overseas flight.

He was adopted by the mother of one of Lindsay's colleagues at school. We know that Jazmine is going to a great home and will get lots of love and attention as his new mother recovers from breast cancer surgery.

Jazmine joined our family over 5 years ago, not long after we got married and soon after arriving in Seattle. Since that time we've gotten to know and love his traits and eccentricities. That's why it was hard letting him go. He's been through a lot with us, from an initial case of mistaken gender, to getting his toes chewed off by a macaw, all the way to helping us raise a puppy and a baby. He's made a lot of kids smile and will continue to do so, I am sure.

Good luck Jazmine! We'll miss you!

Yikes! Make sure you keep that macaw away from Cavan!
