I know the pain, Bryan. I suspect you've been there before as well. Clearly Soba brought you and your sister a lot of joy, and I'm sure he had a good home and a wonderful life. Aloha is the perfect word for this.

Your choice saddens me, and I would like to see you reconsider. You know the trade-off, but go for the light. Don't take the sure path of less joy. Maybe get a rescue with some miles on it. Make arrangements for the dog if you can't care for it. Even if you can't, give a dog a home now. Take the bird in hand.
