Smokey RIP


My mums friend - (she is like a nan to me) is very poorly with cancer and last night her budgie died She is so upset, I think the little bird was the only thing keeping her going. As she is so poorly and could not do it herself I have offered to bury Smokey in my garden which I am going to do tonight and plant a pretty plant there for her.

Life is cruel!

Re: Smokey RIP


That is so sad Abbi Pets mean so much to the elderly people, she must be devastated. You are doing a very kind thing for her which I'm sure she deeply appreciates.

You say she is very poorly and it is just a thought, but when you've buried her budgie, planted the pretty plant and placed the little wooden cross, why don't you take a pic of it to give to her, I'm sure she would like that.

Re: Smokey RIP


Thanks guys, I am sure that all you would do the same!

I have sent my mum up to the flower shop today to get a little colourful plant, will take a pic for her Mags, I think she would like that to.

Re: Smokey RIP


Abs it sounds lovely.

My MIL buried my dog Tammy in their sheep field but I didn't want anything to mark her grave so my MIL has put a rose bush in her garden for me.
