Goodbye Old Friend

It is with a heavy heart that I blog today. Yesterday evening I discovered that my friend K.C. of the last 7 + years had passed away.

I bought K.C. in February of 2000 shortly after I moved to Columbus. I was working various part time jobs and really didn't know anyone in town and he was my constant companion at home. He would sit on me on the couch watching TV and occasionally wake me up to remind me to let him back in his cage. He was a lot of fun. Sadly though we had a falling out in 2001 when he refused to give himself a bath and I thought pouring some warm water over him would do the trick. He took that act very personally and our relationship never recovered. From that point on he refused to come out of his cage and would bite me when I'd try to take him out. That doesn't change the fact that he and I were good friends at a time when I needed a friend, even if he was a birdbrain.

I do wish our relationship had been better but its too easy to have regrets once its too late. At least we had eacher when I needed him most. Thank you K.C., and may a host of Angels guide thee to thy rest.

K.C. (2000-2007)

Beloved friend of Jefe. Known also by Lori. Unknown by Claire. Survived by Zoe and a handful of fish. Will always be remembered and loved, especially by the plastic bird who shared his cage whom he often felt the need to take advantage of.
