This morning I found my cockatiel, whom I've had for about 14 years and was an adult when I got her, dead on the bottom of her cage.
When I texted the news to Josh, his first response was "Who's Shreds, is that the rabbit?"
The bird's name was Shreddies; the rabbit's name is Reeses (like the chocolate). So at first I was taken back a bit and corrected him. Then he said "maybe stop owning so many pets?"
I wanted to rip into him right then and there that if it's ever down to him or the pets that he doesn't have a hope in hell. He apologized for the "misunderstanding" but I don't think he got how much the pet comment cut me.
But I just told him I'd talk to him later.
If this were a new relationship it'd be different, but it's been over 4 years and the damned bird has been here longer than all the dogs.
Then hours went by and I didn't respond. I was working then went out for a late-lunch with a friend that I only see every few months because she lives so far away.
Now he's upset with me because I didn't bother to shoot him a "quick text" throughout the day. I figured it was something I wanted to approach with a more thought out talk.
But apparently I'm the bad guy here. I know I'm over reacting, but *&^*%&
