Emily Discovered “Motionless” by Donna: Off to a Better Place
January 29th, 2008
Filed under: Uncategorized
Today was one of my rare days off. I was glad, because today Donna found her beloved pet cockateil “Emily” motionless on the bottom of her cage. I don’t even need to say how terribly upset Donna was, and those of you who know Donna, know what a compassionate and kind hearted person she is also.
I’m gone much of the time, and when Donna would come home at night, Emily was the one to greet her “hello” when she walked in the door. I know the silence now will be very difficult.
If you would like, you can leave an uplifting message, and although it won’t bring Emily Back, it will be encouraging to know that her friends do care and don’t think she’s being silly.
Thanks,
Allen

Heleo Donna……being a huge pet and animal lover, I truly know the sadness that comes with the lose of a dear, beloved friend and companion. Only through sharing those wonderful moments with your sweet pet that you bridge the gap between man and animal and become , not only closer to your own spirit, but closer to God himself. My heart goes out to you for the lose of an unforgetable part of your life, and hope the memories of your dear feathered friend helps you to smile often.

Hi Guys,
Allen told me what he did, and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to get these messages.
Last Christmas, my Alexandrine, “Roger” flew away.
I was standing out side the house admiring all the Christmas light ’s I had just put up, with Roger on my shoulder.
I had recently had his wings clipped at the vets, so I wasn’t concerned. All of a sudden, he just flew away.
He stayed up in a tree for a long time as I just stood helplessly.
He finally flew away…..for good. I was heartbroken.
As bad as I felt about Roger flying away, I think Emily’s passing is even more difficult.
I thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and stories with me.
The best part of our website, are the people we have subscribed to it.

Donna,
It is indeed a sad day when one of our little friends dies. I have two small Toy Fox Terriers and they are as much a part of my life and of my wife’s as well, as our own children. Like Emily, we love them and can only know that they share our love. They give us love unconditionally. The very sad thing about our pets and something that I sometimes think about is that we will all outlive our pets. I become incredibly emotional thinking about that sad day sometime in the future. But just as with a member of our family that passes, we can always keep the wonderful spirit of their life, alive in our hearts, all of our days.
I am so sorry for the loss of Emily.

Donna,
So very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet.

Losing a pet is hard. Anything that is loved and then lost is painful. You are not alone. Take care and have a good day.

i am so sorry about the loss of your bird. I know how hard it is and it will get easier with time, just remember that she will be waiting at the rainbow bridge where all our animal friends will be waiting for us when we pass. My husband recently lost his dog and it does get easier with time.
my heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow

Dear Donna: My husband & I have really enjoyed all that you & your husband have shared with us about the Trucking Industry as we look to decide if it might be forus; it was with great sorrow & understanding of your grief when we read of your loss of dear little Emily. We too have beloved pets that are just part of the family, treasured, loved & valued beyond measure just like our children & grandchildren. Just know that your love for Emily & what you shared with her is not lost, but just moved to a higher plane; with God’s blessing she watches over you and will always be there for you. Take care, take heart–your little bird is “free” but always with you too. In peace & love Taylor & Linda

Sorry about Emily - a loss is a loss. But everything is about a cycle so be sure to share when a new friend comes to keep you company

Sorry about Emily! She is still with you and always will be there. I know how it feels to lose a pet. I have had many different kinds of pets but when they pass away it isn’t any easier. God be with you all and Emily too!

Sorry to hear about your beloved bird Emily.
We have 2 Chihuahua that are loved beyond all.
I don’t even know what we would do if something happened to one of them.
May God through Jesus Christ Bless and Keep You Always.

Donna I’m sorry to hear that emily has gone on, I know the feeling to loose someone that was always there to greet you no matter how bad a day you had, there was that special greeting you get when you walk in the door.
