Nobody can argue that losing a pet isn't a devastating experience. My dog, Mia, is a bit of an escape artist. When she hops the fence to go galivanting in the woods behind my house, I can't help but think what would happen if I can't find her.

Luckily, she's always made it home safe. I've learned I have to keep a close eye on that one. She's a nut.

Jardine Parrots And Cold Temperatures Don't Mix

People have taken to Facebook to express their concern. It's not hard to figure out why so many people are praying for Seraphina's safe return before nightfall.

Since Jardine's Parrots are susceptible to respiratory issues, their ideal climate is anywhere between 70-80 degrees. It's not unheard of for these kinds of birds to catch something as a result of being exposed to fluctuating temperatures.

Here in New Jersey, fluctuating temperatures basically define our weather here in the southernmost parts of the state from late March through mid-May.

Atlantic County has been experiencing temperatures dipping into the 40s at nighttime. Hopefully, if enough people get their eyes on some of Seraphina's pictures, she can be reunited with her owner before coming down with anything.
