Our little traveling buddy, Morgan, our beloved Quaker Parrot, passed away last night.
Morgan had been our constant companion nearly as long as we've been together. We got him in August of 2008, nearly 13 years ago. He went everywhere with us.
We were gearing up for our planned summer cruise and planned on starting out this past Monday, Over the weekend he stopped eating. We took him to the vet on Monday to find out what was wrong. While the doc was trying to get a blood sample he had a seizure and started bleeding from the nose. Without a proper blood sample the doc couldn't make a proper diagnosis so she asked to keep him overnight. She called us this morning to say that he had passed during the night.
Now all our plans are on hold while we make arrangements for Morgan, decide what to do with his cage, toys, etc,
We also have to make a decision about getting another bird. Do we do it now? Or wait a few months? How can we cruise without our little boat buddy? We have never been aboard Queequeg without him being with us. The boat seems empty and much too quiet.
