It's with a heavy heart that I inform you all of her death on the evening of December 5th, year 2006. She became really sick after laying more eggs than what is healthy for a little bird to lay. She ended up with a bacterial infection and had lost a terrible ammount of weight. After a struggle for life for a total of three and a half days, and two vet trips later she was beyond any help; sickly and was slowly losing controll of her limbs. After much thought, my mother and I made the most difficult decision of my life thus far. That afternoon, Pepper and I shared countless cuddles, kisses, love, and tears. We took her to the local vet to be freed from her struggle with life. She was young and always full of love for the people that in turn loved her. Her carefree, happy, and loving personality touched many hearts. She may have been a small bird, but the impact she made on me and the mark left in my family and my own heart are to large to begin to comprehend. And so I said my goodbyes and, right next to her older bird friend and teacher (my mothers old bird, Pooter), we burried her under the sakura tree outside my window.
We will mourn your passing.
Goodbye my dear, little friend. I will miss you greatly.
I hope to see you once again far off in the future.
