and His name was Buddy

I am loving these chicks. even though they are loud and messy they are the cutest things!
Today something happened. In the less than two hours I was gone to Zeyneps tennis lesson Buddy the chick had managed to get completely wet somehow and covered in feed. Nugget was crying out laying next to him trying to keep him somewhat warm i suppose. Buddy was so weak and frail so I took him and rinsed him off in warm water. I wrapped him in a towel and tried to keep him warm. It was not enough and so I improvised and took my hair straightener putting it under the towel and turning it on for a homemade incubator. Genius i thought and it was. He was warm again and both Buddy and Nugget were warm and asleep on the warm towel. But buddy was still almost lifeless laying on his side with his legs sprawled out. I tried to feed him but nothing worked. Nugget kept close by until buddy was warm and dry and still limp. I held him in my hands begging him to not die.  There was nothing i could do. He opened his eyes for the last time to look at me, as if to say thank you for trying but its my time to go, goodbye. and with that he died in my hand, leaving behind his body and his last poop on me at the same time. I cried. I asked Heavenly Father to heal my little chick. I told Him that I had faith and i knew that He has the power to heal the little chick and bring him back but I understood if it was not part of the plan He had. He didnt bring buddy back but i do know he he cares for him. Even though he is a simple little chick He knows and cares because each one is His creation. He knows even when a sparrow falls. These animals, no matter how small and insignificant are precious to Him. they have personalities and are intelligences.
No nugget is alone and I can clearly see the difference. He is lonely and sad. I have held him in my hand and he falls asleep so easily. I am going to miss buddy. It may seem silly to miss such a small bird that I have only had for a few days but i do. Buddy was this tiny little thing. Brown with a black mark on his head. He was fearless and yet a baby, wanting attention and crying all the time. he was also a butt to nugget, pecking his head even though nugget is twice his size. He would also shove nugget out of the way to be the main cuddler in my hand. When i took them outside to the backyard and let them run around on the grass buddy was the cutest one to watch. He was so excited and yet the heat of the sun would make him so drowsy that he would be falling asleep where he stood. He would be so sleepy that he would lay on the ground and go limp when we picked him up, chirping happily.
I hope that i see him and my other pets one day. He was a sweetie and I am so sad that i could not save him but it must have been his time to go.
Take care.
