This evening I lost my beautiful precious Dawn. I don't feel able to really go into the situation, except to say it seemed she suffered some sort of a stroke or neurological issue.
I wish I could turn back time and cuddle with her again, give her a big millet spray and watch her tear it apart, give her a chunk of celery and watch her pull the strings out and eat them. I wish I could watch her explore my coffee mug or hop on my keyboard and disrupt my work. I wish she could perch on my shoulder and play with my hair and snuggle against my neck. I don't want to face her empty cage, cleaning up the seed hulls, seeing her favorite rope toy that Auntie Sandra sent.
My head hurts, my heart hurts even more. I haven't been able to eat a bite since I found something was wrong with her this morning while I fed the dogs. The sun has set on my beautiful Dawn today, and it will never be the same without her. I miss you sweet girl, miss you more than I can express.
I wish I could bring you back.
