June 9, 2013 Dear Mom;

 I've been visiting Babe almost daily, first to make sure that she's made it through another day and second to see if I can change the Director's mind about me taking Babe at least to the vet if not home to recover her strength. The Director, with the manager's support continues to insist that when I'm not around, Babe is quite active and  has a small group of feathered friends that she would miss. I just don't believe that. Babe's keel is as sharp as a knife; she's very light. To me she seems very weak and unable to hold her own head up for more than a few seconds at a time. Every time I see her she's on the floor in front of the fireplace near a bowl of food and water and holding on to something with her beak. Lina arrives in two days, Mom and I'm afraid that it will break her heart to see Babe the way she is now. The positive side is that she knows Babe better than any of us here and will know what she needs. Here are the photos I took today. Later.

Love,
Pat

While visiting with Babe, Sore-toe wants a skritch too.

Babe can't hold her head up any longer.
