Pets

People that have pets or have lost a pet will understand how hard it is. Last night for no reason at all my bird died. He was fine and then came out and was on the bottom of his cage dead. The cats didn't get him or anything.

Well we had 3 birds 2 males (deep purple & soothing grey) and 1 female (sky blue) parakeets for the past 8 years, then 1 died 4 years ago and then the last male died yesterday. My beautiful sky blue birdie is badly morning for her friend. She has been tweeting and squawking all day for him. They both did this 4 years ago when the deep purple one passed away. Now she all alone and you can tell how she is acting really upset. These parakeets were hand reared and we got them from the people that brought them up.

These birds added such sound to the house, the music (if you wanna call that) was great to wake up to each morning. I have been so emotionally drained from this. Some people will read this and laugh or read this and say "it was fucking bird", sorry people you have something for 8 years, care about it, make sure its fine, play with it on a daily basis, sit on your bed and let it walk all over your bed with no other animals around, bring it into your life and make it part of your family and then you can tell me that it was "just a fucking bird" Sorry but it hurts loosing a pet no matter what kind of pet it was, ya some might be easier than others but ones that make an impact as these guys did hurts allot.

So ya if i was off yesterday or even if I was out of it and couldn't think... this was why. I might be out of it again today... don't know, just gonna keep to myself for the day.

Life is a precious thing, no matter what sort of life it is, a cat, dog, bird, fish, human, anything. Its precious and means allot to the creature or human that has it. So next time someone says oh i lost a pet... stop and think, what kind of impact this pet made on the person each day and what loss they will have in their hearts.

Ya we might get a new one friend for her but not sure. We might just give her to our friends that said they would take them when we moved. Not sure yet. She is grieving and will be for a week or so. Birds might have tiny brains but they do have feelings too.
