New pet

Sean was working in the garage one Sunday and this dove walked in. They became fast friends and the dove decided to make our garage her new home. Malaya named her Chicka and the girls were happy to visit with her. After several meals and a good night's sleep, we decided it was time for her to go back to her real home. So, we set her free and closed the doors in hope that she would find her way home. Instead, she stalked us. For the next few days, every time we would open the garage doors, she would fly in and settle down for a meal and nap. After a week of the dove being in and out, we kicked her out one more time. We didn't see her for 1 1/2 days and thought she finally left. Then, on my return home from work one day, I opened the door to pull my car in, and in flew the dove. We visited once again while Sean made one last phone call. This time he was put in touch with the SPCA who said they had another dove and they would be glad to take Chicka. So ends Chicka's adventure. She has a new home and a new friend and hopefully she'll be happy.
