Very sad and unfortunate news
Comments (12)I'm so sorry to hear that Dan! Are they YOUR martin housing? My neighbor is just too arrogant and now he has Starlings in his trio! They're using an extended compartment and I suggested to him buy the trap for both HOSP AND Starlings, but he hesitated and said maybe try plugging the holes. I have removed their eggs and nest MULTIPLE times. I'm going to approach him again about it but be truthful and say he likely won't get martins this year. He's the same guy who came from the city, is crazy about his lawn, and sprays within 30 ft of my boxes! Luckily haven't lost any and last year contemplated relocating to another neighbor's...but the walk is too long ( A decent walk to a HUGE field) and I want the bluebirds near me. The boxes are currently in a large field right next door on my landlord's property (who are VERY friendly people!) I had to relocate 2 years or so ago due to problems with House Wrens. Moving them into the field eliminated the problem. Anyway, when I saw something dead whilst peaking through, I opened it up with shock and just shook my head in disbelief! Just my luck! I get bed-ridden ill and my neighbor sets a trap in his PUMA house and kills an non-target bluebird. PLEASE remember to check your traps every 1 - 2 hours AT LEAST! I can't stress it enough. Every last bluebird is precious, but amazingly I still have 2 female BBs after losing 3 this year. Bad luck in my neighborhood...even though I've put a HUGE dent in the HOSP population now!...See MoreOT...very sad news
Comments (34)Luvs, I'm just a lurker on this particular forum but I wanted to express that I'm sorry for your loss. I also wanted to let you know my MIL & FIL had donated their bodies to science as well. My one brother in law attended the ceremony that was held by the medical students to thank the families of the donors. He said it was particularly moving because the students told the families that they thought of the the donors as their teachers because they learned so much from them. And in our situation, my MIL was a teacher herself when she was younger, so this made us all so very happy knowing she would have loved to hear that. Wishing you strength during this time. ~Bee...See MoreFeeling very low- sad start to the New Year
Comments (19)It is the love we have for them and the love they have for us, both without reservations, that make losing them so hard. A family member is missing disrupting our routine and leaving empty space. Now who will hear our secrets, comfort us and celebrate with us? I feel your loss and cry with you but I also know that you have a big heart with room for a new furkid. Let yourself cry and grieve and you will know the right time for an additional love. Missy will never be forgotten. If you find that you need a "kitty fix", visit an adoption center or shelter and just visit with some of the orphans. Hugs to you....See MoreSome very sad news
Comments (106)Marie-I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you are going thru. At least Dale is no longer suffering. My Dad has cancer and hospice has been coming to their house. He is 79 and next June would have been their 60th anniversary. My Mom is really struggling emotionally during this rough time. It so nerve-wracking day to day. Please remember to take care of yourself and just take things day by day....See More- 11 years ago
