Still coping as well as possible with injured back situation but do other forum members believe that

our pets know when we are feeling down and something is a problem? Bung, my pet/friend magpie,which

I haven't seen for several days, called for his food ration handout and gave me a lovely warbling sound

as if to say thank you! Pets in our lives are such treaured creatures and give us a sense of feeling

wanted by them. Keep flying free Bung, even with your damaged wing. Bimby2

Hi @Bimby2,

How wonderful that you have a magpie who visits. I love that warbling sound, so musically complex and communicative. I have no pets but at various times there have been visiting animals in my life. I particularly remember a stray cat who befriended me at a place I lived temporarily when I was going through a lot of emotional difficulty. She would come visit me around midnight after I knocked off from my job at the time, and just circle around and sit with me while I was out the back for a bit of a breather and sometimes a bit of a cry. I agree that animals do sometimes have an uncanny sense of when we need a bit of company and cheering up from them. Hope your back gets in some good healing over the weekend and that there are some bright moments in your days.

I agree with maz.  Its even more special because your magpie is flying free and returns to you.
