Sharp and loud Jolly (Feb 18 to 22 Dec 24)

28/12/2024 by A learning buddhist...

We took the four of them home when they were barely two-weeks-old. She had the sharpest and loudest voice. When she was less than a year old, she was already out of shape.

I was glad that the siblings had one another to help each other grow.

Six months old Jolly and it was time to rehome her.

One did not survive. Our adopter could only adopt two of her siblings and she was left behind. We took care of her. Jolly was an independent girl. Her voice remained sharp and loud. She was a big eater and I love watching her eat her meals.

Jolly started to vomit frequently more than a year ago. I found it unusual and sent her to the vet. A blood test and X-ray were done. All were good and nothing was found. We got some medication to relieve her stomach. However, her vomiting persisted. We sent her for a second opinion and did another blood test. Dr Chow even sedated her and looked into her nasal tract and throat. All looked good and another round of antibiotics was given to her. Still, her vomiting persisted. In the end, we suspected that she had growth in her nose.

Wanted to look at Jolly’s adorable face.

Above was the last photo that I took…

May all merits accumulated be dedicated to Jolly’s favourable rebirth.

  • “Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • A place to discover and explore the discourses of the Buddha.
  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
  • Support coexistence with birds!
