Sorry to hear! Hope Charlie can help fill the void. Neil Thanks Neil...I don't think anyone can fill this void though.............Charlie is doing well. Just trying to gain his trust....but he is a character that's for sure.....he loves his scratches.... |

I'm devastated to hear this news. I know how hard both you and Toddles fought this together. She passed over in your hands, knowing she was loved. I'm so very, very sorry.
"I'M STILL HERE"
I was near you, by your bed last night; I came to have a peek.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I chattered to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you. I'm well. I'm fine. I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast. I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.
I was with you at my grave today. You tended it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I am not lying there.
I flew with you back towards the house. As you fumbled for your key,
I gently touched you with a feather, I smiled and said, "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know that I was perching there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, and then smiled. I think you knew
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over - I smile and watch you yawning
And say, "Good night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll enter side by side.
I have many things to show you.
There is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
Then come home to be with me.

I logged on to see this very sad news  She struggled to stay with you but the struggle was just to much for her and she had to go the bridge surrounded by your love. She was very lucky to have you as her mum. Hugs Leanne |

I am SO sorry Ann-Maree! I'm gutted to hear this. Poor baby.  She sure did fight hard to stay with you. And you did all you could. Toddles knew that. RIP Toddles. You will be missed. Carley |

Flossy, I am so sorry to hear of Toodles passing. Both you and Toodles fought a good fight and I know in my heart that Toodles knew and appreciated every thing you did, and loved you very much.
I am thinking of you.

Thanks everyone.......I appreciate your lovely words...... This is so so hard......I can't bare the thought of not having her with me.............Her laugh, her games, her kisses................ She was my very best birdie friend................ She was a little fighter and we loved her so so much.......... This pain right now is more than I can cope with.....it's unreal but so real...... Her birdie mates are all so quiet......they must know......it's horrible........... Thanks again everyone............... I know some people will think I am silly for being so devastated about losing her....."she is only a bird" some people say.......to those people I tell you that you haven't truly loved until you have loved and been loved by an animal....whatever it is.......feathered, furry, scaley or whatever....their love is unconditional.......... thanks again everyone....... |

We understand your pain, for sure we do. Never doubt it. I have never met you or Toddles, but I shed a few tears this morning at my desk at work when I read the very sad news. Those non bird people, the ones that say "its just a bird" well they are the one's missing out. They've never experienced what you have. Its a very special thing, when an essentially wild creature gives and accepts love. Don't let anyone de-value your grief. |

Thanks heaps......it's so special to know you guys are all thinking of Toddles and I..... We have buried her in a very special spot in our garden......It's so quiet around here...lol. Just goes to show how much noise she used to make.....  I don't think the others know what to do....they keep calling her, but no answer....... Argh....it has to get easier right? She better be waiting for me in heaven......I need her special kisses.......she is missed so badly! AND to top it off, there is a song on TV that we all used to sing.....her included and it hasn't been on for MONTHS! and they started it again LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!! I cracked....it nearly did my head in.....it was like....WOW!! WHAT is going on here........ You know the one from AAMI....a little bird, told me that she loved me? you will know it when you hear it.....I taught her that.....and we used to sing it together.........omg....here I go again..... Anyway......thanks again everyone....... |
