It's Awful what you've had to go through mate latley...Obviously most of us on here have pets (cats & dogs etc...) who we love, consider part of the family & we would be gutted when they die, however we often take them for granted (I'd be surprised if my dog didn't think his name was c'mon [Poor language removed] head!)
...To care for an exotic pet like an Owl takes a lot of dedication, which you have portrayed with pride & passion since i first seen you on this forum!
...as terribly as this has all ended, you & your family should be proud!
Thinking of you pal
