I had one I hand-raised from a chick. Her name was Guido. I raised her
in my truck, carrying along a thermos bottle of hot water to make her
meals with when she was still to little to eat by herself. We went
*everywhere* together. Best damned pet I ever had, and better company
than probably 90% of the humans I've ever met too. Took her back to
the US with me in '97, and left her with my parents (who were
suffering from empty nest syndrome anyway) in '99 when we came back
over here. Guido ruled the roost at my parents' place for years, but
since my mother no longer mentions her at all I assume Guido has died
and she just doesn't want to tell me about it.

Oh Goodness, we've gone and hijacked Shannon's thread. Oh dear!
