That's the general twist of this blog - whatever eloquent terms I use, that's the undertone.
My bird I've had for the whole of memory is on his way out; he was fine yesterday, then I awoke this morning to find him sitting at the bottom of his cage floundering. He'd respond to no one bar me (cockatiels attach themselves to one person and I was the recipient of my bird's affection) and the whole family are holding back the tears!
It's all rather strange. I was in floods of tears earlier and the bird came up next to me, very unaware of why I was sad, and stood there trying to sing to me.
It's been nearly a year since my beloved dog passed away - there's obviously something about this time of year. The bird and dog were my closest animals - though I get attached to animals even if I meet them once. I had a fish I won from a fair that passed away after 2 days (surprise, surprise) and I cried for a very long time. I think I genuinely prefer animals to humans.
Animals never let you down; they give you constant affection, mindless loyalty and listen to your deepest woes (though they haven't the foggiest what you're banging on about). Humans have the tendency to take what they want from you and then leave without picking up the pieces. Myself included; it's human nature.
I'm too lazy to write anymore as I'm feeling sad. May I repeat blah, blah, blah.
