I could have saved my bird.
Well, why didn't you?
I didn't get the bird to the vet in time. It kicked the bucket.
Even though you tried, you should have done more to get him to the vet in time. Pets depend on us and we are responsible for them.
Yeah I was doing fine but that was before I got a job. It's not my goddamn fault I had to make money.
It would have been better to take him to the vet right away. You should never just give up on a pet like that.
