    Kinda bummed this morning

    When I was getting ready for work this morning, one of my peach faced lovebirds started flapping around. I picked him up & he died in my hands. Will was with us for almost 11 years. I guess the poor guy's heart just gave out. Grace looks totally lost without him.

    Sorry to hear that, it's always especially hard when you have two pets and one dies. We had two dogs growing up, and when the older one died, the younger one laid on top of his grave for maybe a week or two and moped around the house as well.

    But at least you can be grateful that you had him for a long time. How're Bren and the kids handling it?

    Bren - not so good

    Boy - he's 16 - I don't think he even noticed that we have birds.

    Haven't told the girls yet (all growed up & left the nest).

    Guess we can rule out shock as the cause of death.

    Prolly

    Will & Grace were named appropriately. Will was always humping his favorite toy that had a bell on it. You could hear that bell start ringing anywhere in the house. Ahh the memories - usta laugh my arse off at him. Kinda embarrasing when guests were over tho!!!

    Tom I am so sorry! Dang I hate when something happens to animals!

    On a side note, I was coming out of a store the other day and this woman and her kid (maybe 6-12yrs I cant tell) were blocking the drive and the boy was chasing something is circles, it was a baby field mouse....well he accidently stepped on it and it stopped moving, so instinctly I rolled the window down and asked if she wanted me to run it over knowing this would put it out of its misery....she looked at me but never responded.....same type of woman that lets her kid play with a baby disease carrying mouse.....so I just rolled up the window and drove around them.....
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    You were coming out of the store IN your VX??? I gotta move to TX.

    Almost related story: I was in the Springfield mall years ago & decided to stop in the pet store. Just as I was walking in, this parakeet flew straight at my face. I instinctively grabbed it. It ended up that a lady was buying it for her daughter and as the clerk was putting it in a box for them, it bit him & got away. I put the bird in the box as it was biting the crap out of my hand. The clerk handed the girl the box & she immediately looked inside then whispered something to her mother. The mother told the clerk that she didn't want that bird ... there was blood on it. The clerk & I looked at each other with this sort of expression -

    I'm very sad for you and the fam. Animals become a huge part of our families and take a place in our hearts the same people. When they go, a piece of us goes as well. Thoughts and prayers, brother.

    Yeah, I had two cats that grew up together. Over a year ago, one died and the other one just hasn't been right since.

    Some people say animals don't have the same feeling we human's do. I can't speak for earthworms, but I would say most of the mammals out there share some if not all of the basic emotions of the human race. And birds are definitely more intelligent than people would like to think.

    Sorry about your bird, TFB.
