So sorry on both accounts man. Pierre was one hell of a friend, you and he had an incredible bond. Hopefully he's just out and about enjoying life and will return to your friendship again someday soon. Take care my friend, hugs to Angie, and all the best to you both over the holiday season and in 2018.

And if he doesn’t, it’s obviously because he pushed a kid out of the way of a speeding truck, saved the kids life, but lost his own. <br /><br />:( <br /><br />EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-38187521719978548362017-11-21T07:03:14.124-05:002017-11-21T07:03:14.124-05:00An amazing tribute to your friend, and OMG to all ...An amazing tribute to your friend, and OMG to all the support from others!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-52968532561023589742017-11-17T14:57:15.870-05:002017-11-17T14:57:15.870-05:00I, more than any other got to witness the special ... I, more than any other got to witness the special bond between Rob and "his boy", as he often called him. I may of picked on Pierre (in jest) and razzed Rob about him, but I know what a special relationship it was. Rob joked about Pierre being his "best man" the day we got married. I was smart enough to grab the camera and take a photo minutes before the ceremony.<br />Angie<br />Angie in T.O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00208503841470715157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-48303435720272289742017-11-16T11:27:46.274-05:002017-11-16T11:27:46.274-05:00Pierre, you were one big beauty of a bird and one ...Pierre, you were one big beauty of a bird and one big gift to this planet.

You and he taught us all so much ... to appreciate, even love, those that others disregard and reject. I think it really hit home with me, as I lost my disabled son at age 32, just four short months ago. He taught me and others to value him and his short life, too. I know you - and we - will fondly think of all the wonderful and humorous memories he left you with over the past 5 years. RIP dear Pierre.

I still will wait. I am sorry he might be gone. I've known cats who disappear - not mine, but friends' or neighbours' cats, and i never get over their absence. Here's hoping Pierre makes a jaw dropping reappearance.

You will dearly miss and many of us dearly miss hearing about him & seeing his chubby handsomeness in your posts. My heart goes out to you.

H...Pierre was a testament to his species, for sure. He was a beauty, he was smart, and he was full of character. I'm sure you're not the only person whose opinion he changed about pigeons. He was an ambassador for pigeons, showing people that they could be as engaging and beautiful as any bird. You're fortunate to have had the relationship with him you did. He was lucky to have you as his champion and you were lucky to have his trust and companionship. I hope he comes back to surprise you but, even if he doesn't, no one can say he didn't have a good life and you were a huge part of that. I know you'll miss him but I'm glad you have so many happy memories to reflect back on.Debbie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07747872107893013450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-87536921666449762812017-11-15T12:49:09.820-05:002017-11-15T12:49:09.820-05:00You done good for Pierre and his kind Rob.
