I just lost Apricot
I gave Apricot a bath and the heating pad was too warm for her afterward. I tried to cool her down, but was too late or I didn't do it right. Apricot died in my hand. She is the last of Peeper's and Tulip's babies, when Tiramisu was sharing a nest with Tulip and co-raised Apricot. She resembled her grandfather, Mango. She was the older sister of Lemondrop, Bonsai, and Wingaling. When she was a fledgling, Baby Blue bit her right foot and she lost 3 toes. She had lost a lot of her feathers this past year and looked a bit like a vulture, but she was still spry and she gave Baby, who is blind, excellent company. She was so beautiful. I will miss her so much.
