so i was asked to "birdsit" a few weeks ago.
the bird was sickly and had been rescued from "the wild" (meaning the new york streets)
i was was a little aprehensive. i was told that i needed to feed it apricots every other day. and change the water.
i informed my good friend and her fiancee (it was his bird) that they need to understand that if the bird dies, it's not my fault and that i am not to be held responsible if this infact happens. the bird was sick. it looked pretty on the verge and i was not looking forward to that responsibility.
i did everything i was supposed to. i was attentive and all that. and guess what... the bird still died. it died the second day.
now the fiancee hates me. loathes me, and blames me for the dealth of his beloved bird. he has unfriended me on myspace, he is livid when he sees me, and i can't even see my friend anymore because they are always together and he literally hates me a blames me for the death of his pet.
ALL OF THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. I WAS AFRAID OF THIS. AND NOW I FEEL LIKE SHIT BECAUSE SOMEONE I GENUINELY ENJOYED THE COMPANY OF HATES MY GUTS WITH A PASSION.
i feel powerless and upset.
