I have found that not animals are the same, even if they are the same species. I currently have two Fischer lovebirds and two Pacific parrotlets, but I was way closer to my Nico who was a peach faced lovebird that just somehow got into me and I miss him still so much. We also have had dogs all my life, from when I was a child, mostly Pugs. I have 2 pug females right now - but the one that touched me most deeply was my beloved Minya who died 2 years ago, I can't explain the bond I had with her, it was so deep and just thinking about her right now and typing this I'm getting teared up. I know for SURE that animals are individuals and that every one of them has different capabilities and different strengths and weaknesses, and it's those things that somehow, and it just happens, it all clicks.
Can anybody guess where I got the name Minya?
