Sharing My Cuddle Clone

[GreatBlue320]

As so many of you know, my family's first bird, Taylor (aka "Girlie") passed away in March. We were all heartbroken, especially me.

Right after her death, I was searching the internet for articles/information on pet loss and bereavement that could help me through my grief. I found a wonderful website, aplb.org. During one of the moderated chat sessions I joined, one of the mods mentioned a website called CuddleClones. They make "clones" of your pet. I had doubts that they could make birds, but I thought I would ask.

Well they can make birds. I ordered one of Taylor. It finally arrived today.



I think they did a great job. For comparison, Taylor is my avatar.

Of course, I immediately began to cry when I opened the little box and found my clone Taylor inside, but I have to say that it is somehow comforting to "see" her again.

I wanted to share this in case anyone who has lost a pet would be interested.

The really looks like Taylor's avatar! Sweet, indeed, and I'm glad that it has brought you some comfort in your grief.
