I had a number of uncountable fish as a kid, and two frogs. Then came Sassy and a few years later Sunny and Star.

Sunny- budgie of 10 years old. I got him when he was 6 and had him for 4 years, he died of unknown causes.

Sassy- severe arthritis took a toll on her. We tried many meds and even acupuncture, but by the 6th month of all that it was just too much. We put her to sleep on June 13th 2008. Surely, the worst death of my life.

Star- Died of unknown causes on Febuary 22, 2009.

They are all missed. No one said having pets doesn't come with a terrible price in the end, but it is sure worth it for all the years of love and companionship.
