We didn't even realize something was wrong until last night, when he started shivering and wanted to be cuddled. By then, it was too late. I did get to hold him for a couple of hours last night, as he seemed to seek me out again and again. I'd like to think that he knew he was going and wanted to spend his remaining time with me.
I've cried all day, mourning the loss of that little bird who had such a huge impact on our family in the year that we've had him. No more Ziggy singing karaoke and opera, or barking at the dog, or meowing at the cat. No more "Mommy!!" shrieked at the top of his lungs. No more Ziggy begging for pizza, bread, or oyster crackers. No more preening my hair, no more nibbling my ear, or chasing my bare feet.
He will be buried at the top of the hill behind our house, where hopefully, he won't be disturbed for many years to come.
I love you Zigman...and miss you terribly! It's already too quiet without you.
Ziggy - Died 12/28/05

Again, I'm sooo sorry honey!! I am sending big hugs and prayers your way. How are you doing today? A tiny bit better I hope. I know you will have a heavy heart for awhile. Keep good thoughts. Ziggy will always be in your heart.
hugs my friend,
Jan
I'm so sorry for your your loss. He was a beautiful bird. I lost my dog of 14 years in August. Time heals your heart but you never forget how special they are to you.
