I lost my baby Cricket today.

[Ray P]

I came home from work around 4:25 and said hi to Cricket as I came into the house and she was jumping around saying Hi over and over like she always did.

At ten till 5: I let her out of her cage so she could eat with us. She climbed up onto the back of the kitchen chair and went into like a seizure and as I held her in my arms she looked at me and than passed away.

I am so sick. It was Cricket that changed the way I felt about Amazons.

She is in my lap as I type this.

I am going to miss her so much.

Ray I am so sorry to hear this, I know Cricket meant the world to you and we all enjoyed hearing about her, I am in shock myself as I can hardly believe it, I know you are devastated but you did have many wonderful years with her and she loved you unconditionally, please accept my condolences on your loss, she is flying free over the rainbow bridge.

[SRSeedBurners]

I can't believe this. I've been reading all the Cricket postings for as little as I've been here. I too had an Amazon that passed away well before I thought he would. Cricket was only 18 or 19? Sad sad day. Love these little creatures, sure is hard to lose them.

[Brat Birds]

I am so sorry Ray. But so glad she got to pass while in your loving arms. I know I always feel better when babies have passed with me there. The hole they leave in our hearts is large.

[2birds]

Oh no, I'm really sorry that you lost your baby. I've been there and I really feel for you.

[birdhouse]

Oh Ray, this is so sad. It literally brought me to tears to read this. You & Cricket have had such a great love. I know how much you'll miss her & I can't begin to say how very sorry I am.

[Talon]

Noooo.....this can't be real......I have no words...I'm stunned and in shock. Ray, I can't fathom that kind of pain you are in. I know better than anyone how much you adored Cricket and she adored you. As we always say, there is no bond like an amazon bond. I take such comfort that you were there and she died in your arms, there was no better way for her to go...She will forever be in our hearts and a huge part of this forum.

 

I am so very sorry and my heart breaks for you...please know we are here for you always. Love to you both.

I can't stop crying for sweet Cricket. You were there for her, she waited to see you before she left. What a wonderful friend she is to you and will be forever. Be strong Ray, Cricket will be watching you and waiting for you so make her proud.

[murfchck]

My prayers are with you. This is a sad time, with your wonderful heartfelt stories Cricket became a family member to us all.

[katana600]

Ray, you have been wonderful in sharing your love for Cricket with all of us. The pain you are experiencing is unthinkable. I am grateful she didn't suffer. I am also so grateful that she found you to live her years with love, respect and affection. She led a charmed life in your care and knew that it. May you find peace in knowing your love made a difference to her.

[Greywings]

Happy till the end I hope we could all have that fortune, loosing her is so difficult but you have a small green angel watching over you now.

Ray, what incredibly sad news. Certainly such an unexpected shock has stunned you to your core. A wonderful companion and family member gone too soon. My heart goes out to you, as words fail me in my sadness for you and yours.

There really is nothing I can say. I can't imagine your pain but wish I could do something to ease it. You, your family, and your fids will be in my thoughts and prayers. Cricket stories and videos were always greatly enjoyed.
