Sadness Upon Sadness

Pretty Boy Pumpkin
8-24-06 to 9-4-10
As if my heart wasn't breaking already, we have lost another beautiful soul. My beautiful birdie Pumpkin. His illness came on suddenly. There was nothing we could do but make him comfortable. The vet tried. We tried. I held him in my hands this morning and talked to him softly as he passed away. My husband and I both cried. His playmates will miss him. We will miss him. I will miss him incredibly. He has been a spunky, cheerful, faithful friend. He was Tori's best friend. The flock will never be the same. But we will love them all. And we will talk of Pumpkin every day.
Maybe he is perched right now atop my mother's shoulder. Both gone within one week. My heart aches with sorrow.
We love you, Pumpkin.

It is with great sorrow that I had to say goodby to pumpkin. We all will miss him. He was given love and affection for his short life. And gave many years of love and joy. When you think of pumpkin smile with love. He is watching from above with miss pixel.

Sending our love, we understand how you must be feeling - our beloved frog "Fargy" passed away a couple of months ago and we are still feeling the loss, it is tough when you have a connection with a wonderful little soul and they must leave us for a better place. Love from Mrs. and Mr. Slug

Thank you, Babbler. I'm sorry to hear about Fargy. It does break your heart, doesn't it?
