It is so very painful to lose a beloved pet.
Take care, Tink, and you will have some wonderful memories to cherish...

 

[Tink]

Thanks very much for the kind comments.
Its always hard losing a pet we love.

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

I know the animal lovers would know how I have been feeling this week..
We set up a little grave site near our cat we lost 6 mths ago

You no longer greet me,
As I walk through the door.
You're not there to make me smile,
To make me laugh anymore.
Life seems quiet without you,
You were far more than a pet.
You were a family member, a friend
. . . a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take time to heal -
For the silence to go away.
I still listen for you,
And miss you every day.
You were such a great companion,
Constant, loyal and true.
My heart will always wear,
the pawprints left by you.

Vale "Bluey" (not his real name). He liked to use a pseudonym when he went on the internet to tweet or post on the stock forums to protect his anonymity.

"Bluey" arrived when only 8-10 weeks old as a pet for my then 10 year old daughter. Interest in budgies faded quickly and the role of carer was flick passed to dad. So began a 10 year relationship between a bloke and his budgie. Cleaning his cage, changing his seed & water and trying to teach him to swear. For 10 years "Bluey" stubbornly refused to learn one solitary word, being content to whistle and chirp to the kettle, passing wild birds and the calcium bell hanging in his cage. When we had company "Bluey" would chirp and whistle like has was joining in the conversation.

His stock picking was uncanny. A well aimed turd from the top perch onto the stock lists that lined his cage, two (2) chirps for a buy, three (3) chirps for a sell and screeching if I got it wrong. After a short illness "Bluey" passed away on Thursday morning shortly after the market opened. I dunno how I will pick stocks now.

That could be the best avian obituary I've ever read.
So sorry for his passing, nulla nulla.

I have an uncle in his late 80's whose only pleasure in life is now his beloved budgie.

I guess the depth of our relationship with our pets is the pure and uncomplicated nature of their love and companionship.

Gotta love kids and their pets. I've seen off a few different pets over the years, and it's always sad seeing them go.
I'm currently trying to tame a budgie with some slow progress, funny little bugger as well. I think he is pretty old though and might not have been that well looked after prior.

Thankyou for the kind words. It is one of the worst aspect of having pets. They only have a short life span compared to our own and eventualy you have to deal with the greif of their loss.

Very true Nulla Nulla.
Sorry to hear about your little budgie.
