Omg! So sorry! I lost one under challenging and odd circumstances.
You never found his body? The sitter never gave you answers?

Thanks, guys. It's been a tough situation. I think his cage was not properly closed after he was being fed, and then the doors and dog were not secured. It was lack of attention on the sitters part, which is really frustrating and had not been a problem in the past, but I had also not been gone for quite this long before. I've searched the house extensively and no sign of his body, so I think he was eaten (hopefully it was immediate and he didn't suffer). I am going to bury his little foot at my parents' house in the mountains in VA (D always liked to talk to the wild birds, so I think he'd like it there), though I now have to wait for these storms to pass.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. I totally understand the part about not feeling like you can breathe. I'm sorry you had to come home and find what you did also. We never want that to be our last memory of our babies.

I am so sorry for your loss. That's a terrible way to come home from a vacation and I cannot imagine how upsetting it would have been to discover what you saw. My heart goes out to you. :sadhug:

I'm so sorry for you and how you must feel. I know how hard it is to not beat yourself up. It helps me to still talk to my fid that passed, it makes me feel better to think they are still around and can hear us. Hopefully that will help you too. :sad7:
