JaneW Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Greta has been gone for two years. I remember the goodbye as if it was yesterday, yet, now, two years later, I feel ready to move on. Not another dog. Don't know if I will ever have another dog. I am ready for another gregarious little bird, though. My last parakeet (budgie) died while I had Greta, and it broke my heart. To accept a life is to accept a death. I need a new life in my house, now, and am prepared to accept that it will not be for ever. Frankly, from all the preparations I'm making, one would think I'm getting a human baby, . It's good for me, anyway! I need to move on now. I'll love Greta forever, just as I've loved all the pets that came before and went before.

rascalsmom Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Glad to hear you're ready to get another pet, Jane. My daughter had a parakeet, and he was pretty cool. I hope you'll share some pictures of your new addition with us! Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13. Jack (BTR Captain Jack) 9/28/05--11/2/12Always missing Buddy, Ruby, and Rascal.

JaneW Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thank you everyone. I'm feeling really good about getting a new baby budgie. There will certainly be pics! I'll be getting him after the winter holidays so that I have plenty of quiet time for bonding and training. Plus, I still have to bird-proof the living room, which is a bit more complicated than making it dog-safe. Thank you again--it's been a rough couple years.
