Sadly, the day before Bethany's birthday, one of our beloved pets has passed away. We have not yet broken the news to her as she will be devastated but we will have to tell her soon before she notices the empty cage. This picture was taken in October of 2006 by Josef Noah. Please say a little prayer for Bethany, she takes the loss of any of our pets really deeply and this will make her birthday somewhat sad. We are not sure what happened to him, although his cage has been knocked over once or twice by one of the cats. He enjoyed tormenting the cats by tweaking their tails as they sat on his cage day dreaming of what, I imagine, must have been bird pie.Sadly our household is now down to two cats, one dog and no bird. A few years ago we had a bursting household of three dogs and five or six cats, fish, one guinea pig and a bird. I must say though - it is more peaceful with less cats and dogs. But once the tears are dried, we will look into adding a new bird to our dwindling menagerie.

Oh my... I haven't forgotten Bethany's "Happy peapil" wish, and tommorow, likely a litte latter in the day, late afternoon, I will post a link to a happy peapil photo, made happy by Bethany's wish.

So sorry to hear about your beloved pet. I too remembered Bethany's "happy peapil" wish and tried to make a few people happy in her honor. I am crushed that with such a big heart and caring for others ,Poor Bethany's day was filled with sadness.
So sorry for Bethany! We have had parakeets just up and die unexpectedly too. We had one a year ago and it died a few days after coming home from the pet store. I've heard that they are very susceptable to fumes from anything like cleaners, teflon pans, that kind of thing. :(
