In Memory Of Sammy

[CeasarsDad]

Without getting into the story of Sammy's death I want to remember him here. Sammy was our Dusky Conure. He was the friendliest bird I ever met.. So, in memory of Sammy... here he is..

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry Sammy...

Hi Splint. Thank again for you kind works.. These photos are actually not some of my better ones.. I had just gotten my D2X and way playing around with the settings.. So they don't have the quality they could have.. and that's a shame because there were the only photos I ever had of Sammy....

My deepest condolences. I know how you feel. We lost a half moon conure..Neeley after 10 years. We allowed our daughter to care for him while we were gone on vacation. The cigarette smoke in her apt. killed him. Remember that folks...if you smoke..do not do it in your house when you have birds. They get upper respiratory infections easily. Cigarette smoke..even if you have an air conditioner...will kill them. All it took was 2 weeks and he was gone. I was so angry at her..I told her not to smoke. We miss him very much..it is like losing a child.

Hey there TexasGirl..

 

The problem for me with regards to Sammy is I CAUSED him to have a horrible, terrible death... One that I WILL NEVER forget as long as I walk this planet..

 

My stupidity allowed my dogs to KILL Sammy... The hurt I feel from this is hard to describe.. Sammy was the friendliest bird I ever met in my life.. All Sammy wanted to do in his whole life was to play and be with us.. that's all this poor thing wanted..

 

He was DEATHY afraid of my dogs.. I mean terrified just looking at them.. To think that this poor thing got killed by them makes me cry like baby... I don't give a sh*t if I am a man.. I'm crying now thinking of the terror that poor thing felt in his last moments.. God Damm me for this...

Frank,

 

So sorry for your loss. You have told me the story before. It must be very difficult and painful, but dont beat yourself up about it too much. It was an accident, a horrible one for sure, but you certainly did not allow this to happen on purpose. Hopefully we can all learn from Sammy and provide those that remain a better shot at being safe, but accidents can, will and do happen.

 

It must be painful, but I bet Sammy does not hold it against you. He sure was a beaufiful bird and I am sure one of a kind. Its nice to remember him here, he deserves it.

Thank you Mark.. If there is one lesson in Sammy's death it's "don't be careless with other life" and that's what I was...

[Guest]

I think that if you would be careless with other life Sammy wouldn't have lasted for 13 years.

[Talon]

CD, This is painful for you, I know. But it was an accident that we can all learn from. And again, I'm sorry.

 

But his memory will always live on with us.

Just be thankful you had him for 13 years and we will all remember him here and he lives on in your heart.

No judy. I am not sure where it's been said I had Sammy for 13 years.. He was a baby and died at less then one year old.. Sorry if I caused that misunderstanding.

[judygram]

Well 13 or less than one it is still painful because you loved him and we will still remember him.

[LunaBaby]

He was beautiful!! I'm so sorry for your loss

[judygram]

He certainly was, glad CD has a memory in photos.
