Feeding Birds without my dog at my side
May 15th, 2008 by Birdy Trish
When I was feeding the garden birds the dog was always at my side. I took her for granted. Feed her and take her for a walk. Part of the daily routine. She had to be put down last month as she was in so much pain.
We miss her. I miss her at my side when I’m outside. I didn’t realise how often she was with me when I fed the birds.
In memory of Bonnie here are a few occasions when she as at my side.
I’ve started off in November last year. I end with Bonnie being put down.

Cats kill birds. Dogs don’t roam alone. Dog’s don’t kill birds.

I’m still busy feeding birds every day. I don’t want another dog. Yet I miss Bonnie.
I bought a new bird feeder the other week and am trying it out - hanging it from the branch of a tree. Bonnie would have loved to sniff near the tree in the long grass - what she was sniffing for I’ll never know!
