Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer.
She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken
wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way
even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places.                 She's my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand
and both wings were broken. She was
emaciated and covered in lice. We made the
decision to give her a chance at life, so I took
her to the vets office.                                                From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a
huge dog carrier with the top off,  and it
was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to
lay in.  I used to sit and talk to her,
urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay
there looking at me with those big brown eyes.
We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still
couldn't stand. It got to the point where the
decision was made to euthanize her if she
couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't
want to cross that line between torture and
rehab, and it looked like death was winning.                      She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't
bear the thought of her being euthanized; 
but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone
was grinning from ear to ear.                                                 I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was,
standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle.                        She was ready to live.                                                             I was just about in tears by then.                                     That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly,  so the director
asked me to glove train her. I got her used to
the glove, and then to jesses,  and we
started doing education programs for schools in
western Washington .                                                          We wound up in the newspapers,
radio (believe it or not) and some
TV.   Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000,  I was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  I had stage 3,
which is not good (one major organ plus
everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of
chemo.   Lost the hair - the whole
bit.   I missed a lot of work. When I
felt good enough,   I would go to Sarvey
and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would
also come to me in my dreams and help me fight
the cancer. This happened time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2000, the day after
Thanksgiving.   I went in for my last
checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not
all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last
option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they
did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for
the results.  I went in Monday, and I was
told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and
take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty
and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her
up, and we went out front to the top of the
hill.   I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back 
 (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she
touched my nose with her beak and stared into my
eyes, and we just stood there like that
for I don't know how long.  That was a
magic moment.  We have been soul mates ever
since she came in.  This is a very special bird.

My daughter-in-law, Colleen, submitted our 7 year old Grand-son, Travis's name in a contest and won.

The picture below is when he was just told that he would be skating with the Senators this Saturday at 2pm. carrying the flag and standing with them for the National anthem.

Travis is the son of Cam & Colleen Phillips

By the length of his beard and the grey legs, he is probably over 10 years old.

He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulder hump, and with his head up the height to the top of the shoulder hump, and with his head up the height to the top of his antler must be about 12 feet.

This guy is king of the forest, no bear or pack of wolves would dare come after him when he has this rack ...

Considering that a dirt road can fit 1 1/2 cars across ... this fellow is HUGE ...

The picture was taken near Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada

Yes it is a regular size dirt road.

He just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage.

This was his first boat and he wasn't quite sure of the exact

"Standard Operating Procedures

for launching it off a ramp, but figured it couldn't be too hard. 

He consulted his local boat dealer for advice, but they just said

"Don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat."

 Well, he didn't know what they meant by that as he could barely get the trailer in the water at all !

You're goingt to love this guy !

Anyhow, here's a picture below.

Here is a picture of one of my garden helpers.

This little one is cleaning up the brussel sprouts plants but he feels safe hiding behind a plant.
