Everythings Shiny Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Harmony, you brought me so many smiles, with your crazy attempts to scare me to death by playing dead, to standing up to the dog and refusing to move until I walked behind you to move you to your pen. I'm sorry our time together has come to an end. We've had an amazing 9 years together, and I would not change it for the world. I almost wish that you would have gone in your sleep, but holding you as you left our lives is something I cherish. You were so strong, you never cried when you first got sick, you stayed strong, you wanted to fight, you wanted to stay. Age was against you when you first got sick, but you bounced back and proved to the world that seizures wouldn't take you away from me. You just weren't strong enough to fight them a second time. I've cried every day since you left me, I miss you so much. People keep saying, "she was just a duck, get another one and get over it", but you were never "just a duck", you've always been my little mate. Rosalie, the day you were brought in, so tiny and young, I felt you were a part of our menagerie before I even declared I'd take you home to join the crew. I don't know what happened, or why you left us, but you will always be my favourite rosella. It has hurt so much to loose you both, but at least you are together, waiting for the rest of your friends. I love you girls, rest in peace.

Tintin Jac Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Big hugs ES. Ducks are the funniest of creatures and so endearing. I totally get that you loved and will miss your beautiful girl. To lose two treasured pets so close together must be very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudlark Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 So sorry that you lost your beautiful feathery friends I have ducks too. We breed and show them but they are mainly pets. I love them to bits. They all have a unique personality, just like dogs. I watch them for hours. They are just wonderful, inquisitive, intelligent, entertaining little people. I'm sure you miss Harmony and Rosalie terribly. Big hug from me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythings Shiny Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thank you guys. Its been a terrible week for me. On top of loosing my babies, one of my co-workers was badly bitten by a dog at work (It was just us two on) and the whole dramas within 24 hours has been exhausting. I haven't slept very well the last few nights, but I'm hoping now that I have the rest of today + Sunday + Monday off, I can relax and mourn properly. A very good client/friend of mine brought over two RSPCA roses and a card for me yesterday, she's also bought a couple of ducks apparently to go with my last remaining oldie. I guess I just feel a little lost right now. I keep looking for Harmony especially and its so quiet without her constant chattering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hugs to you ES, I cried for months when I lost my little budgie and I completely understand what a heartbreak it is to lose a little feathered friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
