My avatar just died!

I just called the vet and found that my pet parakeet (Dudley) died last night. She had been our pet for about 7 years and my wife and I were really attached to her. I know this is not pool-related, but felt a need to say something to someone. I think I will keep my avatar the way it is as a memorial to her. BTW, the name "Dudley" was bestowed on her by my wife before we knew that she was a female. Thanks for listening!

Sorry for your loss, Bill, but Dudley lives on right here at AZ Billliards.
 
Hi Bill,
Sorry to hear of your loss. In my opinion, pets are loving family members and the loss of one causes deep pain. Yes, do keep the avatar of Dudley - as someone mentioned, he'll live on forever here at AzBilliards!

I'm always sad to hear about the passing of a pet. Getting another pet soon is definitely a good idea. Even if the new arrival is a nightmare it helps keep your mind off your loss a little. And of course you soon find yourself loving the newbie.
 
Sorry to hear it!

Bill,

You are one hell of a photographer! I have enjoyed your photo albums for some time. I thought your avatar was a prop......great photo!

My most sincere condolences!

Sorry for your loss I have to puppys that mean the world to me.. I would hate to see anything happen to anyone of them..

Anytime I lose a dog, it greatly affects me for a long long time, but losing any pet is terrible, we all become close to them in our own way.

Robert, as far as your avatar and the message, I am sure All ministers and all hookers would be in complete agreement with it.
 
Thanks to all who replied!

I wanted to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who replied to my original post. Reading through your posts was comforting to me, more than I would have thought. I had my wife read the thread and she was comforted as well. To some it might seem silly to get emotional over the death of a little parakeet, but other pet owners understand how deep the attachment can be. If you have a pet who recognizes you and seeks your company over the company of others, you are probably pretty attached to that pet. Anyway, I just wanted to state a public "thank you" to all of you who took the time to write a reply to my post.
 
I'm with ya, Bill

I knew there were more reasons than the photography I liked you, Bill. My wife, of 38 years and I are a couple of the greatest animal, avian lovers on earth. We have 4 indoor dogs including an 85Lb black lab and a 19 year old white fluffy lady of mixed heritage. We have 4 designated dog bowls and one designated bird bowl that sits on a window ledge that goes down to floor level and keep filled with assorted seeds. Our dogs have gotten where they will sit and watch the birds eat without barking at them.

Trudi and I send our sympathies to you on your loss. I know Dudley was a part of your family as ours are.
 
Bill, I feel your loss. As a companion of two wonderful creatures myself, one of which is my avatar, the comfort they give you cannot be compared to anything on this planet. I am having severe health issues with my avatar (Cyber Fox) so I feel your pain. Our thoughts are with you in your time of loss. Keep Dudley flying high on AZ. Paul and the pup.
 
I'm very sorry for your loss. I empathize with anyone who has lost a beloved pet. I have shared your grief. Just remember, this too shall pass.

I certainly feel your loss Bill. My lil Benji mix is my 24/7 companion and I'll sure miss him if he goes ahead of me.
