Our beautiful Dewey

dLast night our darling Dewey passed away. We had taken him to the vet on Saturday when we noticed he was listless, fluffed up and vomiting. The vet did a culture and gave him an antibiotic. He also gave us some anti-nausea medicine to administer to him at home.

We kept him warm and in a separate room. Over the course of the next day, he never really improved. He died while I was holding him.

Dewey was the sweetest (he never once bit anyone), friendliest little budgie. He was our little “Mr. Handsome”. He doted on Sunny, and was by her side constantly. We’re just heartbroken and can’t believe he’s gone. I like to think that he’s somewhere warm, flying in a big blue sky above golden millet fields.

What could be more refreshing in the summer than a delicious fruit salad?

Of course, it was more fun to chew on the plate than the fruit.
