I came home from work today.

Turned my lights on, went to let Lucy out of her cage... and there she was just laying in the bottom of her cage.

I couldn't believe it.

My heart right now, is being ripped apart... to shreds.

She was FINE. Just last weekend we took her to get her nails and wings done and she was the center of attention and loving it. She was eating. She was drinking. She was playing.
I didn't let her out of her cage yesterday. It had been a hard day with a lot of school and I was already aggitated. So I didn't want to fall asleep and leave her out so I just left her in her cage.

Now I'm KICKING myself for it.
I could have seen if there was something different about her attitude. I could have noticed it. This morning I rushed out of here cause I was late to work and didn't even stop to say goodbye to her... and now she's gone.

This is such a shock.
I got my dog neutered today. Got all 3 dogs their vaccines.
On Monday I took my baby turtle to the vet cause he's sick. I was preoccupied with him all week (I have to give him injections of antibiotic... )

I SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE ATTENTION.

I completely blame myself.

My poor Lucy. My little baby girl... she wasn't even a whole year yet. She was the greatest little bird. And she loved me so much. Everyone would always laugh at how she just wanted to be with/near/around me. She was perfect.
And now she's gone.
... and its MY fault.

This hurts so much.....

I am so sorry for your loss! It's so sudden. Don't blame yourself, it will only make it worse...

Do you still have Bentley? If so, hopefully she didn't have anything that could make him sick...

Big hugs.

I'm very sorry. Please have a necropsy gone tomorrow. It might save your other quaker's life and let you get out from under all the guilt you're feeling now.

Sad for you and her, gail

I am so sorry. I can't imagine the pain you must feel. Please don't blame yourself- it sounds like you are a great mommy to all your fids.
Big hugs to you on this very sad day.

im so sorry about your loss, sometimes these things happen. and blaming yourself is not the best thing to do. You have bentley to cuddle with you. Hugs!!

I'm sorry sweetie, it hurts a lot when we lose a pet. But please try not to be too hard on yourself. Hind sight they say is 20/20. Sometimes things can change in a heart beat and it could have happened even if you were right there watching her...she may have had an aneurism
or a heart attack or something that you could have done nothing about...So please...don't be too hard on yourself. Take time to grieve and just know that our thoughts are with you.

I'm really sorry about your loss.Please don't blame yourself. There was probably nothing you could have done to change things-it was his time. Again soooooooo sorry.

I found another home for Bentley. He became a "high needs" bird. If he wasn't being handled constantly he would automatically get horribly mean again. I wasn't able to give him the attention and help he needed so I found someone who was... It's much better this way. I hear that he's doing so much better now

Thanks everyone for the support. It's just so hard to NOT blame yourself when you're the one responsible for their care and well being

That is just horrible. I am so sorry. Sending big hugs and comforting wishes your way.

I am so sorry for your loss. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I am so very sorry for your loss Please though don't beat yourself up. You'll be in our thoughts.

My heart aches for your loss!1 Im in tears for u while reading. Sending ou hugs and prayers your way. Time will help heal wounds. and yes dont blame your self for this happening.

This section always makes me cry. I'm so sorry for you loss. I can't even imagine your shock when you uncovered that cage. I'm soo sorry. Please try not to blame yourself we've all done that a time or two.

Oh no! I am so sorry. I can't even imagine how in shick you must be... Please feel free to pm me if there's anything I can do. Please don't blame yourself. Birds tend to hide their illness and as others have said, it could have been a very sudden event. I too would encourage a necropsy so your heart can rest easier. I can't express how very sorry I am... Sending lots of hugs and prayers across the miles. Again, if there's anything I can do at all...

I am so very sorry. I know your heart must be breaking. Words of sympathy are never enough. Just please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I am so sure that Lucy knew how much you loved her.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of Lucy, you are in my thoughts. I am sure she knew you loved her.

I'm so sorry for your loss - hugs being sent your way in this time of sorrow. Please don't blame yourself - you had no way of knowing and things just happen. Remember her good times and she loved you.

I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. Please do not blame yourself, as it was most likely something you couldn't have changed even if you were right there. We are here to support you ... healing thoughts coming your way.

Big hugs.

Oh I am so very sorry to read about Lucy! Such a shock! I know nothing we can say will make it feel any better, but just knowing others care can mend a broken heart.

((HUGZ)) and hoping your grief lessens soon.

I hope you've had a necropsy done already (((( Joie )))) You have a responsibility to Bentley's new mom to let her know if little Lucy died of something contagious. She'll need to have Bentley examined right away to be sure he doesn't become sick too.

Please . . . gail

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. I am certain that it was nothing that you did. The time you had with your Lucy you gave her the greatest gift of all... Love.
