Hey Pandas, What Is The Best And The Worst Thing That Happened To You So Far This Year? (Closed)

That's so sweet your shy cat knowing you needed a bit of a love. But I can't imagine how hard it must be for you and I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could help you with it somehow, but it's just time, I guess. And hugs: ***HUG***

I fear breaking my bones. Not to mention getting surgery, I hate to imagine someone cutting my skin open, stitching it up with needles, and so on... (Not to mention the blood. 🤮) When I see someone bleeding [even on tv] I have to apply pressure to my rists. Idk why my rists... but it feels like someone is pushing my bone out of place but in both directions...

Kiwi died of lung cancer and Flair was very sad about that and developed depression about her hubby's loss. She laid some eggs but they didn't hatch :'( One managed to survive but my brother-in-law's son destroyed it. I was beyond sad and just kicked them out of the house. But the best thing? I got a new pair of baby budgies and a pigeon! Flair started recovering pretty quickly after I got them. She also accepts Caramel (my pigeon) as a part of her family too! I am so happy for Flair! Flair, Snowball (6 weeks old, female budgie), and Banana (1-month-old, male budgie) have piggyback rides sometimes on top of Caramel UwU
