I know how you feel. I lost two dogs within three weeks of each other a couple of years ago, and I thought I'd never get over it.

Take care, now, Universal Granny

Hi Sal,
Sorry to hear about your dog. I remember how I felt when my dog Henry died but just think of all the happy times you've had together and think of him romping around up there with all his doggy friends!

So sorry to hear about that sal! (I'm back, by the way )

Anyway, my brother & his wife had 2 dogs that've passed on, both of which I got very attached to. One was a Toy/Teacup Maltese terrier named Pom Pom she'd gotten as a birthday present before they married. Little guy had a unique 'stubborn as a mule' personality...he died of natural causes.

The second, Zoe was a part poodle-part maltese cross...except, full size poodle, she was almost 3 times Pom Pom's size. I remember one year my Parents had brought my brother & his wife a few things from Hawaii, including a box of covered macadamia nuts. That night, they made the mistake of leaving it on the coffee table/end tsble. The 2 dogs knocked it off, onto the floor & gobbled them all! Zoe, being bigger, must've gotten most of 'em, because her hind quarters were paralyzed for 18-24 hrs! Regrettably, she got a leukemia like condition (years later) that I guess was either untreatable, or would've been too costly for them - they've got 3 young girls, so they had her put down...I didn't find out until a few days later.

Aw so sorry to see that I missed this one sal
I so miss all my dogs , I review my doggie picture albulm from time to time. I have pictures of many dogs I did not own ,but *knew well*

My two large dogs are 10-11 now. It will be hard to see them go.

Hi Sal

I remember my dog Silver, she was a Great Dane.
I remember her antics they were so funny, but she got cancer so we had to get her put down.
She was a big dog, she was taller than me when she was on her back legs.
Anyway i would like to say again of your loss, so think of the happy times you had with him/her.
Take care

Poor sal lost her bird
He (?) may have caught a cold and died.
Birdies do not fair well with respiratory illness.

You cannot hardly ever detect a birds respiratory illness
That is their prime weakness from what I have understood due to other friends losing birdies.Do not blame yourself for this built-in weakness.

My one friend had to bring her bird here when her power went out. It took a car ride in winter and he seemed perfectly healthy afterwards but died shortly. You cannot possibly control their temperature all the time with the weather changes.

Loss is loss. Does not matter the size or species.
A birds song is always missed along with other daily joyful moments.

I hope in time you will bravely choose to love another pet.
