July 22nd, Hamlet (one of our two pet doves) met an unexpected end, when he escaped his cage and went to our neighbor's yard. They own a dog, and the rest is history. After that, his partner Matilda (a guy dove, we think) looked pretty lonely.
Hiram had been threatening to get rid of the doves anyway, because they make loud mating sounds when he tries to study. So we decided to give Matilda away on KSL. Liz was hoping he would end up in a good home, where he'd get better attention than he was getting at our house.
We got a call from a lady who sounded interested, and she asked us to meet her about 20 minutes away in a parking lot. We agreed on a time, but she didn't show up and wouldn't answer her phone. While waiting outside our car with Matilda in her cage, a nice older man came by, asking about our dove and saying he raises doves. We explained the situation about giving Matilda away, and he actually wanted to take her. Liz is very excited, since he seems like he'll be a better owner AND Matilda will now have lots of dove friends to play with. Woo hoo! Or, in the mating words of Matilda, "doot da doot da dooooo!"
