Hello Everyone!!
So, we're on day 5 of Maui being gone now and I still feel very regretful of my own decisions that resulted in Maui being lost. I sure wish we could have "do over's" Because, If we did, I can honestly say that for starters, I wouldn't have procrastinated on clipping Maui's wings and secondly, Maui would NOT have been on my shoulder anytime I was opening a door, in fact, Maui would NOT have EVEN been out of his cage ANYtime that front door was going to be open for any reason, period, end of story........However, that being said, there's no such thing as "do over's", soooo..... we learn, right? That's all I can say about it, is, I've learned my lesson, FO SHO!!
I've handed out all the flyer's that I had made, I have to go back to have some more made up, because, I wanted to go to all the vet's office's here locally, as well as the shelter's, rescue centers, Avian Clubs, Jungle Gardens, etc... But, you get the idea, just ANY public place that someone might think to bring a bird that they found. I wanted to do some advertising on a couple of websites that makes thousands of phone call's automated calls that give your lost pet's description, where he flew(ran away) from and who and how to contact the person who lost him, but, I lost my job 2 weeks ago, so I just really don't have the money to do it, unfortunately, My job is the money maker job, so we are REALLY struggling with only my husbands income.
Thankfully, My Mom JUST so happens to have a bit of cash put aside that she's agreed to use as the CASH REWARD for Maui's rescuers!!!
So, I have every day all day to search for my little needle in a haystack which I will continue to do. How could I not? He is my love!
I truly can not thank ALL of you for being such amazing people! As you all know, this world is becoming an ugly, nasty, cruel and evil world and as each day passes by it seems only to get worse, right?
Well, for me and my family, we try to push all the negative aside and plunge on through with as much honest to goodness kindness, love, empathy, understanding, caring, forgiveness, equality, and walk in a peaceful path.
I don't meet very many people that are true and genuine and who truly CARE about others and truly EMPATHIZE with others for their misfortunes and truly go above and beyond to HELP those in need of help, just as all of you have done these past several days to try and help me find my beloved Maui bird.
I honestly believe in Karma, both good and bad, but I believe that for all of you that have offered stories of losing your pets in the past and have gotten them back??>>> WELL, It's because Karma also know's your hearts and I'd be willing to bet I'm not the first person you've tried to help out of compassion for one reason or another, it's because your hearts are truly kind and compassionate hearts! So Thank you all very much for your words of encouragement, for your idea's and thoughts on how to get Maui home and for passing the word along to other websites, friends, etc...
I know I won't "give up" on finding Maui, but, I may not be able to continue to look for him for 8-10 hours a day if I'm hired some place to start a job, but, I will continue to talk to him in my heart and have faith that my baby makes it home really soon!!!!!
