![]() It was my husband who decades ago wanted a parrot, but for whatever reason, Boogie had bonded with me, so I'm having a particularly difficult time dealing with his death. The bird and I built a very special relationship over the next 25 years that I cannot fully describe in words. He was a part of me. He was my constant companion around the house, and now I just feel an enormous hole in my life. No matter what I did on a daily basis (cleaning, cooking, relaxing...absolutely everything), he was there on my shoulder. When my husband and I argued, my little Boogie was there to soothe my nerves. When we planned an evening out, we had to be home as soon as possible to make sure Boogie didn't have to spend an extra moment in his cage. Our lives literally revolved around our bird, but we loved him so much it was a joy, not a hardship. Boogie had a love/hate relationship with my husband since he was considered an "intruder" by our parrot, but they shared many special moments together as well. I am overwhelmed by despair at the unfairness of my bird being taken from me, and guilt that I should have or could have done more for him. He was my life and I don't know how to go on without my Boogie. |

Bad day...I had to go into Boogie's room since that was also my office. I've been avoiding it for the past few weeks since that's where Boogie died, but I had to do some work today. I'm sitting in his room right now, typing this and looking at his empty cage. My heart is breaking.

I'm sitting in his room right now, typing this and looking at his empty cage. My heart is breaking. This just made me cry again.. This is exactly how I feel about my cat, his favorite chair is empty. I have only 1 bowl of food on the floor instead of 2. His favorite toy is laying in the corner. What kills me the most is the big cat house/carrier I've got them for our future move. I thought it's the best for them to be in 1 carrier because they love each other and would feel better being together during the road trip. The last picture of my cat was the picture of him sitting in his new carrier. Now I have this huge carrier and 1 cat, the brother of my lost/possibly dead cat. |
