#18 All Pets Go To Heaven (Text Post)

I wanted to share the below text that I ran across on the internet. The loss of a pet bird can be very difficult as I know all to well. In many cases the thought of getting a new bird somehow gives people the idea that they are trying to replace the beloved bird that passed away. As bird owners we all know that each little bird is special and has its very own personality and no two are alike. You will never replace the little sole that has been lost.  However,  the love that you gave to your bird is something that is very special and can be shared with a different bird. So many little birds need love. When the time is right please try to pass on some of the love to a new baby bird and replace the emptiness that your heart has lost. Birds love to be loved and we love to love them!



All Pets Go To Heaven 

Can you imagine a heaven without pets?

There is a very special place where beloved pets go after they die. This is only a temporary location. But there are trees and grass and lakes, and everything they love. Here they can play and eat and sleep, even better than they did, before they died. Now, there are no aches or worries or dangers of any kind to trouble or threaten them. The only joy missing is their beloved human companion, you.

All health is restored completely, and all injuries are healed. Dogs and cats play with each other like youngsters, and they do not have time to feel lonely for you. They miss you, and with the special wisdom that animals have, they trust that this condition will get better. And they confidently wait as they frolic.

A wonderful day will come for each of them, when in the middle of playing they will suddenly feel something is different. And all their senses will be at the height of excitement and exuberance. They will sniff the air and look off in the distance where they recognize that dearly loved special presence. Then they will call out in elation, and with eyes shining and tail going wild, tear off at a full gallop, almost flying over the green grass.

Your expected arrival has been sensed, and now there is nothing that can keep the two of you apart, ever again. As you run toward each other the tears flow from your eyes. Your pet leaps into your arms, and you cling together in jubilant reunion. The joyous kisses are all over your face, and you kiss back, just as ecstatically. Your hands so lovingly caress once more the beloved fur, the head and neck and body you knew so well. And you look into each other’s loving eyes, and all those old, wonderful shared feelings are back, again.

And then something will call the both of you on, to a different field of warmth and nurture, where all the love you knew now comes to fruition. With your pet, you leave that special waiting area, walk into the main part of heaven, and begin a new existence there, together.

If you accept that pets can love us as much as we do them, then the logic is clear and cannot be denied. If you believe that there is a heaven for people, then they must be there, waiting for us, when we cross over. Heaven is love, and pets always share that with us.

#16 Sleeping Huts and Tents - DANGER WARNING - (Text Post)

Please be advised that these sleeping tents made for birds are killers.
Please do an internet search on google or visit this link to read just how these sleeping huts can kill your birds. Bird Sleeping Hut Safety 

I personally have talked to at least 4 people who have lost their family pet birds as a result of these bird huts. Just the other day one got wrapped around the birds foot cutting off the blood flow killing the bird as a result. It is so very sad to hear about this kind of death. I really think these should all be taken off the market and no longer sold.

I know that birds love to sleep in little tents or huts so my advise is to purchase one made out of wood or even Coconut shell.

Here is a website link that offers the Coco House for only about $7.00

Please share this with your bird friends or even leave a comment here if you have a story to share about these sleeping huts.
