Reo Lovers Pampered Pets & Porkys

Sorry for your loss!

Basicly the whole reason why I don't own pets in my adult life. Grew up with 2-3 dogs at a time and a cat.

Dogs live for around 10-15 years if your lucky.. 30 years.. wow. Must be that much harder.

So sorry for the loss of Skipper. Our furry and feathered friends are all so precious to us. Blessings to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss Spydro. The hardest days of my life have been when a pet dies.

 

[Spydro]

Thanks everyone.

I'm sorry for your loss, Spydro. I've never been around birds, but it's obvious after reading your tribute that they become a part of the family the same way a dog or cat does, and I'm all to familiar with how it feels to lose one.

They do, maybe more so because they can learn to talk and are much longer lived that our furry friends are. Some parrot species can live as long as 65 years, others 40 to 50 (the true parrots are the longest lived), but even cockatiel's and love birds 20 - canaries and keets 15. So some species of parrots as long as a child might be in it's parents lives before they pass. At my parrot Bandit's currant age/health and my age/health he could out live me by 25 or more years. He will live with my son after me.

I have 2 African Greys and a White Eyed Conure. I'm sure the Greys will outlive me. Both are about 15 now.

Spydro, I am sorry to hear about the loss, in your family. I used to have parrots too. I lost an African Grey, and it broke my heart. I still have a picture of her, and I know what a terrible loss it is, without them. I cannot imagine having a pet for almost 30 years, and then they pass on like that. My heart goes out to you, and your son.

sorry to hear about the loss of a friend that's been around for 30y. That's a long time. And birds have more of a personality than people realize.

Sorry for your family's loss Spydro.

Sounds like he was a great bird of intelligence. Think of the good times Spyd. That's all you can do. Sorry for the loss.

Fill in the blank - your "everything"!

Thanks for the additional support... I'll pass it on to my son. He is still totally devastated, understandable, especially with his own personal family being the two of them in a big house (he has no wife/kids or other pets). In time just the two of us will get together, I'm sure he will with his mother as well, when he feels up to it. Either or even both of us together would go visit Skip with him if he wanted that. He has lots of great friends in the meantime that are supporting him, any of them would do anything for him anytime.

So sorry for you and your family's loss Spydro. He sounds like he was a great bird. Pets are definitely part of the family and it is so hard loosing them...

This how my 8 year old Lab/Dane sleeps frequently. Such a spoiled baby.

Last night I saw the biggest Great Dane ever. The owner said he was still not fully grown yet. They were buying him a huge amount of toys. I am behind them with two bags of dog food. I wonder how much a Great Dane can eat when they are that size? I think they are mostly legs. When that dog fills out, they are going to need to get a payment plan at the pet store, just for his food. That is one reason I decided this time around, I wanted a smaller dog. My dog is probably not quite 60 pounds. That is plenty big. My old dog was a little over a hundred pounds. The dog last night was thin, probably because he grew so fast. He will fill out in time.

Been a few days for this thread. He wouldn't look at my phone and picture quality is lacking, I had to record a video and take a screenshot from the video. Here is my big baby.

I had a lovely time with my granddaughter for my birthday yesterday. She's lucky she was walking Bosco and not these 2.

Otherwise we'd still be chasing them [emoji6]

She could ride that magnificent GSD.

All nice dogs.

Happy Birthday!
