Devastated

[Mangy]

I lost my sweet, loving baby today. I am traumatized and so is my son. We got Mango back in beginning of August from PetSmart. We saw her and she followed my son around and was the most interactive and playful bird I’ve ever met. All the employees talked about how she was the friendliest conure they have ever had. We took a week to think about it and she was on our mind everyday. I called everyday to see if she was at the store still. We did our research, ordered a beautiful big cage and a travel cage and went and got her. We always make sure to keep our green cheek conure, Mango safe. We have a dog and keep them separated. Every morning I wake up which Mango usually wakes us up around 7. Sometimes she sleeps in. We wake up the dog goes outside and her and I make coffee, have breakfast and make my sons lunch. She get ready with me in the morning and that is our routine. This morning I was sleeping and kind of waking up realizing that she wasn’t chirping. Thought maybe she’s just sleeping in. I got up out of bed because I eventually heard my son up in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw my son trying to get the dog leash off the deck to let him out, I did not see the dog though. I did not even know Mango was out. It all happened so fast and I look over and the dog got the bird some how or Mango jumped off the counter because maybe she saw me walk in. My son was screaming I was screaming. I grabbed the dog and put him outside and picked up my little baby and she quickly passed away in my hands. My son said he was just trying to help to feed her breakfast and let the dog out without waking me but I wish he woke me up so badly like he usually does. I would do anything to have our girl back. I just keep looking for through our pictures. She was so cuddly, loved to cuddle with me in the mornings. Loved her baths, and her apples. I’m not blaming anyone but I feel so guilty, I should of woken up even if I woke up 5 minutes earlier I would of been there to prevent this. I would of taken her to the vet if she didn’t pass so quickly and spent any amount to have her here with us. I have such an empty space in my heart. I have never felt this way before. I can’t stop crying and the guilt that I feel. I can’t get the image out of my head. Our house is too quiet without her.

I am very sorry for your loss No matter how they exit this world it leaves is feeling broken. As a mother, I am sure your heart is breaking twice - we hate to see our children feel guilty for a tragedy like this

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I didn’t, but I know exactly how traumatic and heartbreaking this experience is, the image frozen in your mind, the silence. Mostly, I wish I could give you those 5 minutes. You are in my heart and in my thoughts, I’m here if you ever need or want to talk. Fly high Mango

I am so very sorry. I lost one bird to an accident in 2005, mine was a fly off. Accidents are brutal, it is so easy to think...what if, what if.

I feel your pain. I am so deeply sorry for your son too. Poor dear. I hope he doesn't blame himself. It was no one's fault. Not the dog's either. My heart aches for you.

[JoJo&Loki]

Oh no, I’m so very sorry

 

[finchly]

Ohhh no. I am so sorry.

Please don’t feel guilty, and please make sure your son knows it was not his fault. It wasn’t really even the dogs fault - it was instinct, the dog doing what he does. No one is to blame.

But I know it hurts.
