Honestly? I am one of the most sensitive people you'll ever meet AND I am too old to listen to trolls getting kicks out of being ugly. I have enough ugly in my life I don't need it from strangers. Everyone is attacking everyone these days over everything. I just took myself out of the loop. I just come here to vent because I don't expect many people see it. Nobody I know sees it unless I show them. (I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or any other sites)

How is your dove?

He's doing ok. Waiting for the vet to decide when to have the surgery.

Thank you sooo much for asking. It means a lot.

We've had this dove for over 15 years. Darling is his name and he is family. He apparently got a bad infection and now he needs his eyes removed. He is our only bird. This is breaking my heart.

Sorry you're going through that:/ and ofc it's humane!!! You wouldn't kill a family member just because they are blind, you would care for them!!! So I would think the same of your dove. Care for him the same you would for a family member. I will keep you and your dove in my prayers

Thank you! That's what I've been telling everyone but they disagree. I can't bare losing him just because he can't see. Thank you for your response and prayers.

yes, as long as it wouldn't be in pain and you could take care of it, it should be fine

Thank you. Vet says he's in pain now that's why the eyes need to be removed but he should heal just fine... we hope.
