Shauna I am just seeing this now, I am so sorry my heart hurts for you.

Doesn't matter where our feathered friends are big or little they are all filled with personalities that we miss when they cross over.

Topper rest in peace sweetie.

A few folks here know I lost my sweet Topper girl 2 weeks ago today. I miss that her so much! She developed and abscess in her wing and also could have had cancer. Her vet was going to amputate after she finished her antibiotics but the infection was just over powering and she didn't make it. It's been hard to talk about and her very devoted companion in the cage next to her, Freeway has been very distraught. He at one point stood over her cage drooped one wing down just as she had and made a cry like I've never heard him do. I knew he was on a downward spiral. I had to focus on helping him through this. He would take no comfort from me. I worked with the cockatiel coordinator at Mickaboo and found a tiel that he could be friends with. That has helped him a lot. What's helped me is being able have such wonderful memories of Topper and what she has taught me the 10 years she's been a part of my life. She took the challenges life threw her in stride and carried on. Always cheerful when I'd uncover her in the morning she would rock back and forth on her platform or food dish ready to start the day. She never let her legs or wing that didn't work right hold her back. Her struggles are over now and she is no longer in any pain.

I want to thank Danita and Marie for their encouragement and support :heart:
Shauna,

I'm sorry, I didn't know about Topper. I am so sorry for your loss:hug8:

Shauna,

I'm so sorry about little Topper. It's so hard to lose them no matter what the situation. You had some good years with her, and some good memories. Hope they can put a smile on your face when you think of her.:hug8:

So sorry for the big loss in your life, ten years is a lot of living. You would not have missed a day of being with Topper I know, and now he is flying high and free and no more pain or struggle. He is not far away from you and would want you to be happy and remember him with a smile and lots of love in your heart. It will come, slowly. God bless.:hug8:
