My heart goes out to you, in fact my eyes are all teary from reading your post. They have such adorable little personalities, and I know how deadly quiet a home feels and sounds when they are gone. Through the years we have had a similar tragedy and many close calls. My daughter-in-law has twice climbed very tall trees to rescue theirs (climbing down with a very mad little parakeet tucked down the front of her shirt!. The last time it made the local newspaper. <BR><BR>As with any sorrow, time makes it easier. And know your post was not overly dramatic.

It isn't silly at all, it shows that you and your dear girls are full of love and compassion. When I lost my precious golden retreiver I was in a little gift shop and bought a small silver dog bone to put on a chain. I wore that bone everyday until I felt strong enough to take it off. Now it is on my charm bracelet and when I wear it I only think of good times with my sweet girl.willzmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09316482017664677728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-17966181578263223452007-06-11T21:16:00.000-05:002007-06-11T21:16:00.000-05:00That is such a sad story.

Our parakeet, Buddy, is about 12 years old and is 'always' on his last leg, then we laugh and say he's been resurrected when he comes out of a slump. I know one of these days I'll find him gone so I've tried to prepare myself but I know there is really no preparation for that. Our husky is in the same shape at almost 14 and I just cringe thinking of the inevitable. What we endure may make us stronger BUT it never makes it easier to accept, especially when it is so unexpected!<BR>My hugs and love go out to you and your family. <BR><BR>I'm glad you've recovered so quickly from your wisdom teeth.Marilyn in NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-87412366553546128122007-06-12T07:16:00.000-05:002007-06-12T07:16:00.000-05:00PS Me again Kim.....loved the bible verse..so righ...PS Me again Kim.....loved the bible verse..so right.

I found her on the street and until this day, it's one of the most painful things I've been though. It was such a shock and surprice as it was for you and your family. I hope with every passing day things can get easier. Pets are part of the family and your grief is very real.

Realize all the strength you have gained by dealing with tragedy together as a family and the Wisdom you, as the mother have shown in allowing each one to grieve openly. It doesn't matter if it is the loss of a game, a grade or a special pet; our children learn to live by how we allow them to feel grief.<BR>It is a blessed comfort that God gives us pets to love and they in turn love us.
