Today is a very sad day at my pad. Our parakeet, Sunshine, died.
When I went to feed her this morning, I found her on the bottom of her cage without a speck of life. I knew it was coming, because I could tell she was old and at the end of her days. But it's always sad to lose a pet.
Bubba didn't take it very well. He's quite upset. (My daughter isn't home, but I'm sure she's going to be really sad when she finds out.) "See, Mama, even the sky is crying!"
I looked outside at the pouring rain. "Yes, Bubba, even the sky is crying. But I bet where Sunshine's at is full of Sunshine!"
Bubba nodded. "Yep. Because Sunshine brings the sun!"
So ladies and gentlemen, whenever it stops raining, my family and I will have a proper burial for Sunshine and lay her to rest in the parakeet cemetery behind our house.
RIP Sunshine!
Yes, it's always sad to lose a pet! May the grief in your house depart quickly and thanks given for Sunshine's life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sage!
DeleteSo sad to hear that, Sherry. It made me cry just thinking about Sunshine not being at your house anymore. But I'm sure you gave her a wonderful life and she brightened your days.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss her chirping, but we are grateful for the joy she brought.
DeleteI am sorry for you and family Sherry, animals and birds do become part of the family.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Yvonne.
Yes, they do.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear that. Many hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana!
Deletepoor Sunshine. We had identical one for more than ten or even fifteen years and he dropped dead once after hearing a thunder booming.
ReplyDeleteAw. Poor birdy!
DeleteOOh it's so sad!! R.I.P Sunshine! <3
ReplyDeleteWe hope her little birdy soul is in heaven!
DeletePoor little bird. I bet his voice brought a lot of happiness into your house. It's always tough to lose a pet.
ReplyDeleteShe was a cheerful little bird. and she certainly was very tolerant of Schultz!
DeleteMy sympathies. It's sad losing our pets. We've lost a few. The last was a cat we dearly loved. So, I'm taking a break from having pets right now.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the pet funeral, Sherry, and RIP Sunshine.
Thanks. We buried Sunshine yesterday, and she has a little gravestone on her grave.
DeleteNever fun to lose a pet, RIP Sunshine
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that!
DeleteI'm so sorry, but it sounds like she had a magnificent life, well loved.
ReplyDeleteYes, she was a well-loved little bird.
DeleteAw, I'm so sorry you lost Sunshine. Yes, it's hard to lose a pet. I suggest getting Bubba something new. Good luck! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe wants another bird, but for right now, we're not getting another animal. We already have a dog, cat, frog, and hermit crabs - and we're moving in a few weeks. We'll see how things go once we're settled in our new home.
DeleteSorry to hear about Sunshine.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be missed.
