Our Little Ball of Sunshine...

We lost our little Sammy Sunshine, who never answered to anything but "Bird", suddenly on Friday night.  We are all reeling from the loss.  We just didn't see it coming and for him to pass away in front of all of us, made it so much more traumatic.

Dave and I don't know life together without him.  He turned 14 in July, Dave and I bought him from a pet store in Missoula over Labor Day weekend the year before we graduated.  He drove up the Alcan with us when we graduated...he even got us kicked out of Canada when the fears of Bird Flu were at their peak.  He was our guard dog and our constant companion every day for 14 years.  He was the king of the household and seemed to have some sort of power over all the other animals that dared to share "his" home.  We miss him so much and are still having a hard time going downstairs without talking to him and hearing him chirp back "Pretty Bird" from inside his Happy Hut.  We just can't believe he's gone.

We love you Bird, we have so many wonderful memories with you, you will never be forgotten....
