Today, the 11th of July, I found one of my really good friends Dex, dead in the bottem of his cage. This was not a complete shocker to me though. He had not been eating within the last three full weeks. Nothing that I would offer him he would take. He would only take in water...But that is it. I tried force feeding himm nothing happened.

Last nihgt when I went into the room that he was caged in, I saw him hanging from a branch. He didn't loook so good at all. I tried to put him back on a banch, but he seemed really stiff. Finally I got him on it with two legs. Knowing this, I was pretty sure he was not going to make it through the night. So last night I made My last good-Bye. So I said what I had to say then Kissed him on his side. When I went to Bed I prayed that he would survive the night.

Well this morning I found him. I am so glad that I got to say my last last Good-Bye. I loved him so much! He will be missed for ever.
