RIP Klaus. May the memories be fond ones as the pin of your loss loses its sting.

Re: [FYI] Our Pet Memorial Thread

Klaus... What a gorgeous dog!! R.I.P.

I know how it feels and that it is a very hard thing to do even though it is for the best.

I am so sorry for you and your family just try to remember his love and yours will be in your hearts forever.

RIP Klaus:

God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Age is a very high price to pay for my maturity. If I can't stay young, I can at least stay immature!

Re: [FYI] Our Pet Memorial Thread

My condolences to all the other members that have lost a dear pet/friend/family member, in my case they were all three (most likely for others too).

I had to put my buddy (previous owner named her Infinity, the wife called her Finny, I just called her cat, or kitty, it didn't seem to make any difference, we were HER pets anyways) down on tuesday (10/16/2012). It was one of the hardest things to do, but she went downhill SO fast, there was no chance and it had to be done.

So very sorry for your loss. I know that is a heartbreaking decision but you did what was best for your buddy.

Do Not Meddle In The Affairs of Dragons. . .for You Are Crunchy and Good With Ketchup!!

My Dusky-Head Conure buddy of 20 years, Quito "Keet," passed away. When we first got him, we didn't know how old he was. A Conure can live from 20 - 30 years. Since I had him for 20 years, it was probably his time.

Last week, his usual work hard / play hard attitude changed to one of being quite and having no energy. After a few days, he was getting progressively worse. At the time, I thought he was eating OK.

Yesterday, I took him to the vet (avian certified). He had a massive respiratory infection and was in bad shape.

Birds are genetically imprinted to hide their true health in order to thwart predators. (I knew that.)

Not only do they fluff their feathers to make them look bigger, but they also trick you into thinking that they are eating - when they are in fact not. (I had no idea about this tactic.) It's another way to ward off predators. He had me fooled. Keet's weight was dangerously low, which I couldn't tell until the vet weighed him.

We had to try and save him, so the vet sent me home with antibiotics and instructions on what to do. That evening, he was far too weak to even stand. We made him comfortable, my husband stayed with him the whole night. He passed away in the early hours of the morning.

I don't have many photos of him, as he always attacked cameras. He ruffles his feathers and tries to aggressively bite the camera, as shown in the photo below.

That is a long time for a buddy, sorry for your loss. Remember the good times.

Sorry for your loss GeekGirl1. You have 20 years of wonderful memories to help.

So very sorry for your loss.

I hate coming to this forum due to what it's for, but I am happy that I can. I know, having lost a number of family members, how it feels, and it's always good to have others to share your feeling of loss. In a sense, it's like having a memorial for ones pet/family member. To those who have lost loved ones since I last wrote, my condolences to you all. We are in the process of watching our own slowly going down hill with cancer, and we know how lonely it will be at the end.

With all due respect to all pet owners but I have to say how much I HATE this topic.

I want to add how much I hate it when I have to post something in here. I post about a pet is bad enough. Yet this is at least the third time I have had to post in here in the last couple of year.

My beautiful, loving and perfect baby boy, Quinsi, passed away today at a way to early age of 8 years 11 months. He had the most awesome personality. He loved everyone and everything and everyone loved him. It's killing me just to type this now.

Mommy and Daddy miss you more than you will ever know. You were our heart dog.

Quinsi -- Jan 2004 - Dec 2012

I am so, so sorry.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

My heartfelt condolences. Losing part of your family can be so difficult.

Quinsi was obviously a cutey-patootey, teddy bear of dog. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Rest well Quinsi.

I know the Heat Break and I wish you comfort and peace of mind and heart.

Just remember that he will always be with you in spirit and love forever in your HEART. Love never truly fades.

Every time I come here it reminds me of my Missy and the love we shared. So they are truly not gone from our lives but live on in our memories forever.
