My Ivy.. Latest Relapse...She's Gone

[jojo54]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

She was such a strong and loving girl. You were lucky to have each other.

Nobody could have been a better mom than you.

I am a bit concerned about Lexie, especially just after we lost Ginger the other day, also part of her group. The three who were ailing, Ivy, Ginger and Olivia, would all stand around together, like they just knew and were taking comfort in each other. Now, only Olivia is left and she is about the same shape as Ivy was. We are glad that Ivy is no longer in pain, no longer weak. And what can I say about our Lexie? Lexie has shown the type of loyalty that we should all be so lucky to be the recipients of. Amazing creatures, just amazing and awe-inspiring. RIP, dear, sweet Ivy.

Such a beautiful loving bond between Ivy and Lexie. Whoever isn't moved to tears by their love for one another is missing something in their soul, or out of touch with it. We get it and we feel it, big time. It is utterly heartbreaking to think of Ivy's struggle and Lexie's loss.

If I could turn back the clock to when my sweet Betty was failing from internal laying and my dear heart BJ roo never left her side, a gift she took great comfort in as she rested against him, I would have allowed her to pass in his presence (either on her own or aided in some way maybe by sedative?) instead of what I did do. I brought her to the vet for a hysterectomy (antibiotics no longer worked) but because she wasn't strong enough she died 2 hours after surgery, all alone in the hospital back room and no doubt terrified (the vet wouldn't let me keep myself or BJ with her

). I am glad Ivy did not have to know that fear and loneliness. Yes, if it had worked out I would have been glad I did it but because it didn't, it's haunting.

Rest in peace dear Ivy and be in peace dear Lexie. And you Cyn, and Tom, as well.

Shortly after my last post here, I went outside, eyes filled with tears, and sought the company of those who I knew would understand. Who else but my flock of course. They're so sensitive to my moods and frame of mind. Do you know what Chief, that most wonderful boy of mine did? He came right over to me as I sat on the ground, softly talking to the girls, and just helped himself to my lap! He hasn't done that since he was just a little guy of about 2 months old. He has always been affectionate.....but to just crawl up on my lap and snuzzle.....These creatures never cease to amaze me.

And it makes me wonder......Did Ivy stop by for a quick check up on us? The girls were all unusually quiet and calm. Content to simply be near me and not demanding food or anything. Under normal times, they're all running hither and thither, occasionally stopping by me long enough to say hello, before they rush off after a dragonfly or some such. But this afternoon, they all gathered around me, with Chief in my lap, and just enjoyed the quiet company we shared.

It's similar to when Thor passed. Somehow, someway, these beautiful souls know and understand!! I just know they do!!

Cyn, Ivy will continue to be an inspiration to all of us for many years to come. We'll keep her memory alive in our hearts. There are so many things, thoughts and feelings, that I wish I could convey to you right now. But perhaps what you need more than anything right now, is a nice quiet shoulder to lean on. Consider my shoulders there in spirit, if you should need them.

I am sad to hear that Ivy is gone, but I am glad that she is no longer in pain. She is flying with the angels now.

Rest peacefully, Ivy. So sorry, Cyn. I always cry my eyes out when others lose their precious birds. I know he feeling so well.

I'm so sorry. I wish I knew something, anything, to say that would explain to you how much they've touched me. Fly with the angels, Ivy. Great big hugs and pats for Lexie.
