We received some sad news today... my friend Glynis called to say just after losing her Jonah, she went outside and found Leona had passed away. Necropsy confirmed that Jonah had a tumor while Leona had peritonitis. Neither related, neither contagious... it was just their time... so close together...

I went to Kentucky in 2005 and Glynis, Eric and I rescued these three beautiful girls from a pond in a high traffic area. Since they already had Jonah and Fiona, they decided to name Sharona and Leona similarly. They called them all: "The Onahs."

Fiona, Jonah and Leona have now passed... but they lived wonderful, happy and safe lives with their loving family.

Wishing the best to Glynis & Eric and their remaining flock: Joseph, Sharona, Rosie, Dixie, Donnie, Elam, Taloo, Red, Lilly and Gabby.

Leona, Dixie & Sharona (L-R)
