Lily was Hailey's bird...she was the sprawl leg cocktail that just let Hailey hold her like a baby. She always got her out of her cage on her own and was for the most part gentle with her...one day we were all just getting up in the morning and Hailey came in and said "Lily Died" and was holding her...took awhile to get out of her what happened but she stepped on her. My guess by accident...she took it pretty hard! Daddy (which I don't really agree with) let her hold it wrapped in a towel and we took her to Nana & Papa's Pet Cemetery (in their backyard). At first we thought she'd do fine and be able to bury her...but when it came time to, it was HORRIBLE. She clinged to Lily with a death grip and wouldn't let her go. We finally had to pull her away and let Nana go bury her without Hailey going out there. I think that was honestly one of the hardest days (for both Jeff and myself) to see Hailey so upset about her pet dying. It was a bad day and she was sad for awhile...she still asks about Lily but now understand she is with God and is okay with that when she talks about her now. For about a week or two she would just cry at random because "she wanted Lily"..."I miss Lily"...it was bad.
