Goodbye to Dirk

[laurie]

It is with a very heavy heart I tell you all my Dirk died yesterday. He was the only male I had breeding age. I just wish he had bred before I lost him. He came from a clutch with a very high mortality rate, but he seemed to be doing so well. He was just over half way done with a course of baytril, for a URI.

He was so shy and hid if he saw my phone or camera. That is also sad as he was just perfect, I mean text book perfect. Here are a few pictures of my Dirk.

I even wish it were the weather, just not knowing only makes is worse. Starting to wonder about me and my quad dream. Maybe I need to keep cresties like you, they seem to live better.

So sorry Laurie. He was such a great quad.

Thanks, he was a great quad, the grandson of my first quad, Tuffy. A rescue from California. When he came to me, I was told he is the end of Tuffy's line. That is even sadder for me.
