That's not fair. D: You know, I gave a mouse CPR once, it actually does work...I nearly bit his face off, but it worked. Very Happy

Then I kept him in a shoebox for the next few weeks, 'cause I was afraid he'd run off and get eaten or something by some stroke of irony. :/

Topsie, my pet lovebird, died today.

She wasn't sick. She wasn't starved. I don't know what happened, but I woke up and found her on the bottom of her cage... and it was really hard. I cried for about 3 hours straight. I stayed home from school, too - which was probably a bad decision. I miss her so much.

I feel like it's my fault, and she was such a nice bird. She didn't bite or anything. She sang and kissed people and she liked to take baths and she loved to ring bells and I just don't know what I'm going to do without her. She never got the chance to live as long as she could have. I'm so sorry. I didn't want her to die.

Well this is my baby:

I'm so sorry.

R.I.P Topsie!

Aww, I am so sorry Shaye. But as you said, she wasn't sick or starved, which means it was probably something pretty quick... I know it sucks to loose an animal that you are so close to, but I guess the one good thing is that she didn't get sick and suffer, before eventually letting go.

It doesn't make it any better about you having lost her, but you didn't fail her, she still loves you, and she is still looking over you, waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.

She loves you, you didn't fail her, and she will never forget you.

RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM
Author unknown

Just this side of Heaven, before the Pearly Gates
Is a sunny meadow where your pets can rest and wait.
It's where the slanting sunshine meets the highest clouds,
A floating bridge of rainbows, so far above the ground.

This is where we wait for you, if we have gone before,
Just out of sight of mortals, just outside heaven's door;
Here we play in sunshine, frolic free from age or pain,
And anticipate the joyful time when we will meet again.

Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time, can wait,
For that special person to come walking to the Rainbow Gates,
And everyone who's loved a pet will find them safely here,
Frolicking on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.

One day there comes a feeling, a trembling in the air,
And then we know it's time to run and come to meet you there,
Faster and faster on that day, across Rainbow Bridge we'll run,
To meet the humans we love best, come walking in the sun.

Alas my friend you cannot pass across Rainbow Bridge with me,
But when your time for glory comes, waiting for you I'll be -
Then together we will walk upon a path of glittering light,
No more to suffer, nor to part, but to live forever side by side.

Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time and wait
Until together with his person he goes through those Pearly Gates,
And everyone who's loved a pet, you'll find them waiting here,
Safe and sound on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.

This poem almost made me start crying again... It did make me cry when I lost my girls...

Clide was my first cat and he graced my life for six years. He dissapeared on November 10th 2000 and there was strong evidence he was victim to a coyote. I wrote this tribute 10 days after his dissapearance.

I can’t believe you won’t be coming home. You’ve never spent more than a night out in your entire life. Every day when the school bus drops me off at the bottom of the street, I run towards home, expecting to see you, either waiting for me at the end of the driveway, dozing under a bush on the front lawn, or for you to appear out of the woods across the street and run towards me with your tail held high. I want to scoop you up into my arms, hear you purr and carry you into the house again, as I’ve done many times before.

Whenever it rains, I open the front door and call for you, expecting you to come out from wherever you’re seeking shelter and run towards the door, or to see you curled up on the hood of one of the neighbor’s cars, staring at me with those big orange eyes that match your coat so well, expecting me to go out in the pouring rain to carry you in just so you won’t have to get your feet wet!

Whenever I go out walking, especially when I pass your favorite neighborhood hangouts, I expect you to show up out of nowhere and follow along behind me, as you’ve always done in the past. Sometimes I even look behind me, out of habit to see if you are following.

Whenever I go on my swing in the backyard just before bed, I expect you to come running across the lawn and jump up on top of the wishing well waiting to be carried in, or if you’re feeling adventurous, you might even decide to climb the swing set instead.

Whenever I watch the other cats frolic outside I expect you to jump out any second and pounce on them! Whenever I feed the other cats on top of the dishwasher, especially when beef is on the menu, I expect you to come out from wherever you are, enter the kitchen and promptly jump atop the dishwasher and begin eating.

Whenever the dogs bark, I look out the window to see if you’re outside, but of course you’re not there and the other animals know it too.

You’ve only been in my life for a little over six years and it seems like you’ve been here forever. I remember that Halloween afternoon when I was nine years old like it was yesterday. I originally wasn’t going to get a kitten until Christmas, but when the lady who promised me on of her cat’s kittens told me her cat was hit by a car, and the news brought me to tears, my parents said I could get a kitten that very day.

I had picked out your name weeks before, and was working on knitting a blanket for you that was about half done at the time. When I saw you in that little cage at the vet clinic, our eyes met and you walked into my arms purring, I knew we were meant for each other.

You had the loudest purr I have ever seen in a cat. You very seldom got angry, you even put up with my childish attempts at play, every thing from dancing with you, to trying to teach you how to read! Even when I lost my temper with you various times you forgave me within minutes. I did learn, however that when you DID get angry it was best not to cross your path!

You helped me make the transition from a scared, lonely, frustrated little girl with no friends, to a confidant, successful young lady. You made a major difference in my life.

I know that whenever my life on earth is over and I enter the next world, we will meet again in the same way we first met.

For some reason I am having difficulty posting his picture but you can see it on this linkhttp://zeppyoscarandcompany.blogspot.com/2007/09/tribute-to-special-friend-9201994.html
