Remembering Kiwi

[birdlady]

It has been just over four months since I lost precious Kiwi. I realize that I never really said good-bye to her here so thought I would write something today.

Kiwi had been with me about three of her nearly six years. She lived with my niece who quickly lost time and interest in her. I convinced my niece to let Kiwi live with me as she was living in a filthy small cage with no interaction with anyone.

Kiwi was a little spunky girl...wanted nothing to do with me at first and I suffered through many a parrotlet bite, but in time we developed a good loving trusting relationship.

Unfortunately she developed chronic egg laying issues, prolapse, and ultimately cancer. What a fight we fought through taps to remove fluids, and ultimately a new chemotherapy treament that made Kiwi more comfortable and gave us more time together.

We made it through weekly trips to Penn for her treatments and through it all Kiwi remained strong, happy and committed to beating this cancer. Everyone at the hospital loved her, especially her doctor.

Unfotunately she lost her fight on June 24th...after weighing her that morning, I found her in her cage...gone. If ever my heart broke, that was the moment.

I still cry and mourne her loss, yet I am starting to remember the special girl she was and how she brought such joy to my life. I remember how excited she got when she saw or heard me and how she always flew to me to get her cuddles and skritches....she was my special baby who I miss dearly.

Please keep Kiwi in your thoughts as she flies free over the rainbow bridge.

Thanks, it has been a while and I felt bad realizing I never said anything really...I want her to know how much she meant to me.

She was such an inspiration the way she handled all the medical intervention. She was a little fighter for life. I will always remember her, Leslie.

Leslie,

I am stunned to realize that Kiwi and Harmony passed on the same day. I went back to look at the dates because I thought Kiwi had gone a few days before but it was the 24th. I also saw that I was going to donate to U of Penn in Kiwi's honor, which I haven't done yet but I will.

Heart hugs to you Sweetheart. She was a precious, brave little green baby pants and I know how much you miss her.

She knows.

 

[birdlady]

You are all so sweet...

Ginger, I didn't realize it was the same day either...I hope they are both together right now....that would make me smile.

Aww

Kiwi was very lucky to have you for those 6 years.

Thanks guys...she was so special and such a fighter. I really thought she might beat the cancer, so was a little shocked how it all played out that day.

Oh, Danita, she was here only about three years...I got her the summer that I took in Jade and Chopper. It was soon after Max had passed....It was almost like he was sending them all to me....Just like after I lost Kiwi, Maya and Baby found their way here....isn't that strange?
