I Had to Say Goodbye
4 years ago
My beautiful boy, my best friend, Buddy - my cockatiel - died last Tuesday, August 31.
Buddy was 25 - very old - although he was a rescue and I only knew him for four of those years. He was diagnosed with gout in June and given a few weeks to live; however, he made it almost three months, with me medicating him and trying to keep him comfortable.
He was lethargic the day before and into Tuesday, and after a day of cuddling and eating popcorn, his favorite snack, he entered his next life as I held him in my hands.
It was devastating despite not being totally unexpected, and taking him to the pet crematory was about the hardest thing I ever had to do.
He was truly my best friend, and he made me so happy.
