of you getting bundy back would be deemed helpful, just give me an address.

It's not Bundy, really, it's the house. I have no business trying to take
care a house on two floors and a bird Bundy's size as well. The house is
not
right for me anyway, as much as I love it for sentimental reasons. The
walking, the stairs, the inaccessible egress, etc, etc. This house is
taking
my body apart in ways that make me understand the things some of you talk
about sometimes with secondary physical problems related to cp.
Anyway, during the course of this day I have realized that life without
Bundy
is not an option. The grief of loss has visited this home too many times
and
it's not welcome here now. I can't let this family be dismantled, so I've
made a decision.
I'm waiting for a realtor to call me back. I'm selling this place and
finding a small, one floor place outside of the city (where ever the heck
that is now). I've talked to the lady who makes decisions about letting
owners get back animals that they have released into the custory of the
animal welfare league, and she is going to try to help me through this so I
can keep Bundy. She does understand the circumstances, and knows what I am
willing to do to keep him.
I have just made all these plans to stay in Alexandria, but I can't live
without Bundy in my life. The beauty is that I can still do things that I
want to do here; I don't have to stop that just because I move farther away.
I don't want to change my doctors or anything, or my church either (got em
all "broke in" right, you know).
If a person doesn't have an animal I can imagine that this would all seem
very silly or even outrageous. I can understand if it does.
Betty
