Feeling kind of guilty.. :-(

[paper_lantern]

I'm probably going to sound completely crazy for saying this, but I can't sleep right now because I feel guilty. I have a conference I have to go to soon, I will be leaving next Thursday and coming back Sunday evening. I rarely (actually this is my first time) go away like this. As I live with my mother she will be taking care of Furbie. They love each other and she has no problem playing with him, feeding him, cleaning his cage, etc.

I just feel so guilty leaving him, I've had him for about 5 months now and I haven't been away from him for a night yet. Do you think he will still remember me when I get home?

Lol, I'm sorry if I sound irrational.

I hate leaving my pets, even for 1 night but you go an enjoy yourself. Furbie will still remember you when you get back

Of course he will remember you.

Have you ever seen dogs that greet their masters at the door when they get home? Quadruple that for a bird.

When I leave mine for a few days - Rambo greets me at the door with the dogs and Myrtle lands on my shoulder before I even get the door closed. While the dogs are barking Myrtle and Rambo try to tell me everything that happened while I was gone.

Kili and Truman go bonkers for me when I return home from a long trip or even just a short weekend.

I had to leave Truman home alone for an extended weekend just shortly after getting him. Was not a problem.
