Thank to those of you that helped us with the computer! We're back up and running. He also gave us more storage and things seems to be faster.

I didn't think I'd be making this kind of post so soon, but my dear sweet Fiona died unexpectedly yesterday.I usually feed around 3, but for some reason, I had their food prepared early. I always go into Artemis' chamber first, so when I was done with her, I came around the corner to Fiona's enclosure and didn't think anything about her not being on her perch because she's frequently snoozing in her nest box. As I entered the barn and approached her door, she was on the ground having a seizure. As I picked her up, I saw that her pupils were already fixed and dilated, so I knew it was too late to help her. I just held her to my chest and told how much I loved her and how proud she should be for having brought so much joy to thousands of people.So, while in the depths of grieving yesterday, I also had to be practical and look for another exotic, so we can continue to offer holding opportunities. It's amazing to see the look on people's faces when they get to hold and touch a real owl. She was so calm and kind. Exotics are very expensive, but here I am, with hat in hand, asking for anyone who can, to help us to secure another owl to partner up with dear Puck so that we may continue to bring happiness to people of all ages. I'm writing this from my desktop, so I'll have to go to my phone afterwards to upload the screen shot of a species I am interested in, located in New York state.Here's a heartfelt thank you to everyone HOO has come by the sanctuary for a private visit, and to the literally thousands of people that had the opportunity to interact with Fiona at past events.Please help us if you can, and share this, so that we can keep putting one foot in front of the other and continue to toss the starfish, one at the time, back into the sea....m.PayPal monteen@hawktalk.orgVenmo @monteenmccord last 4# of cell 4736CashApp $EliaMcCordIf you choose to snail mail a donation, please add tracking, as my postal carrier is clearly dyslexic.Monteen McCordHawkTalk6730 Union Hill Rd.Canton, GA 30115PS - had I fed at my usual time, I would have discovered Fiona already having passed. I'm so thankful that God somehow prompted me to feed early so her last moments on this owltal plane were not alone and scared. For that I am thankful....m. ... See MoreSee Less

*CAUTION - RANT INCOMING*

Dang, I'm mad.Did you know that if you buy an off market (Onn) ink cartridge for your HP printer and it doesn't work, you cannot return it for a refund if it's opened?! Of course it's opened. How the hell else am I going to know whether it would work or not?!Now, I can certainly see why, because if I were a CRIMINAL, I'd buy the ink, go home and print off a book or two, then return it for a refund.Of course, I didn't arrive at this conclusion until I drove all the way back over there to exchange it for an original HP product, where they promptly refused to give me a refund OR allow an exchange.You know the ink case is now under lock and key at Walmart because of all the losers. There is NO signage over the case telling you you can't return it, and there is nothing on the receipt that says this item in non returnable.39.00$ I pissed away. Down the drain. Running a small wildlife charity is hard enough to stay afloat and to just piss away money like this really gets my goat, I mean owl.You know how many mice I could buy for 40$? This is ME. CRANKY. ... See MoreSee Less
