    Rage- sorry to hear about Bobby, hugs!
    Well another week decluttered at work, short day today, good job as I am shattered today! Have a chicken pie partly assembled, to chuck in the oven, will peel some spuds and do some veg, then its definitely Bombay o'clock, or vino, or something! Better shift as DD has just come in the door!
    Oh, and DS has a telephone interview for e-sure call centre on Monday, he better start practising his telephone voice!
    RIP Iain

    Judi. Rockwool is the way to go. We have had it years with no problems. poly beads was the earlier method, which could have damp problems.

    Oh damn :(

  • Hello. Numb today. Bobby died yesterday. He was fine in the morning and fine after his blood test then about 4.30 at the vets he started to struggle. The put him in the oxygen tent and he got perky. Then around 4.50 he just keeled over off his perch. Mr Rage turned up to collect him at 5. I feel so guilty. I didn't want to leave him there but take him in and out but Mr Rage said it was more convenient for him to leave him. He didn't even sleep his last night in his own home..... Derek is very quiet and keeps looking at Bobby's swing. Last night it was an hour before I could put Bobby back in the box he came home in. I can't bear the thought of putting him in the ground. Who will cuddle him? I'm heartbroken. The last time I saw him I tickeld him and told him to be a good budgie for the vet. Trying to work as otherwise I've nothing to do but just not interested.....

    Sorry to hear about Bobbie the budgie Rage. :( These little creatures really do get into our hearts dont they? We took Scooby the chinchilla to the vets on the Saturday before he died as we thought he was ill. She injected him and he seemed ok. He put up a mediocre struggle against the needle and we thought we had saved him but he died on the Sunday. I then felt guilty that as he was obviously dying anyway we had taken him to the vets and subjected him to an injection he really didnt like or need.

    I dont think we've had a pet that i havent cried over when theyve died. Even Stinky (the hamster) had a special place in my heart.:o

    I will be inconsolable when my 'Girls' go. They follow me all over the house. Now ive relented to letting them sleep upstairs they even sleep next to my side of the bed. At the moment they are sitting close to my feet.

    When my Girls go, there wont be anymore pets in my house.

    All of our pets win our hearts and stay there always. I am still mourning Buddy and worrying over Snowy and how long she will be around. We still can't decide whether to rescue another ferret but are concerned over Holly being on her own if we lose the naughty little white one.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Love and hugs

    I'm sorry to hear about Bobby, Rage.

    I don't usually post much on Thursdays and Fridays as I'm at work.

    But I'm off work next week, so don't go back until 2nd May, and I've got confirmation that I've got a rise in my pension for my old job. If I wasn't so tired I'd be feeling happy tonight!
