Night night Dean Stockwell - memorial added

[criswell]

Dean Stockwell left us in the night. I found him lying on the cage floor this morning. My poor little scruffy boy.

Dexter is doing ok

I will write more when I can.

[Loz]

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Heart-breaking.

[Marianne Marlow]

Oh no, I'm so sorry.

Fly high little Champ.

I'm so sorry for your loss. x

[blueelephant]

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this. Look after yourself. X

[ffiscool]

I’m so sorry to read this. Dean Stockwell, you were a character. Fly high little one.

[willowsmum]

I'm so, so sorry to hear this, it must have been an awful shock for you. You were such a little character Dean Stockwell and will be sorely missed. Fly high little man. Take care of yourself and Dexter x

[criswell]

Thank you everyone. I've just buried him next to Randolph Carter. It's the first time I've done a burial by myself but I wanted to. We've both got covid so I didn't want David going out in the cold.

I feel so sad for my little Dean Stockwell. He's been eating fine and his droppings were fine but his feather loss was very bad so I suspect that his passing was as a result of his BFD. I accidentally left the spot lights on in the lounge last night so I hope that didn't make a difference. I don't know if he had a fall or not. There was no sign of any injuries, so I think it was probably just his time. He'd been coping with the virus for more than 2 years. He'd been losing his feathers since the end of 2019 and he's been mostly bald for about a year. He didn't let it get him down though. He really was a little champ. He was the smallest budgie I've ever seen.

[willowsmum]

He was such a little fighter but it sounds like it was just his time to go . He'll be at peace next to Randolph Carter and tweeting up a storm with his old friends now.

I'm sorry you both have covid too, that's just another worry to be coping with. I hope you start to feel stronger soon x

[criswell]

Thanks willowsmum.

I was worrying that they might have had a fight or something because I left the light on but I was in the next room for 2 hours until I went to bed and all was quiet so I don't think that happened. I've left the light on before and they've been ok. I'm always going to wonder though. Dean Stockwell had got off his swing and seems to have been on a perch near Dexter's swing based on where his droppings were. There were only a few droppings too so he must have left us quite early on in the night. I really hope it wasn't my fault

[ffiscool]

It definitely was not your fault. We always think what if I had this or that or not done this or that. It was sadly, his time and as you say, he had been battling the virus.

I am sorry you both have covid too and hope you are both ok soon.

It is so sad when they leave us. I am glad he is next to RC

I hope Dexter is ok - and obviously you x

[willowsmum]

I really don't think it was your fault. As you say, you would have heard if they had fought and they had been fine with the light on in the past. I think it was just his time. Try not to worry if you can x

[criswell]

Thanks ffiscool and willowsmum

David has been feeling worse with the covid than me. I've mostly just had a sore throat and a bit of a cough at night.

I'm pleased that Dexter is doing so well. He's currently singing. He's been calling a little bit but mostly he's his usual happy self. He was much more upset when Criswell died back in 2018. He wouldn't stop calling him. Dean Stockwell is his 3rd cage mate to leave him so maybe he's getting more used to it.
