Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to my dear pet gerbil Jamie. He nearly made it to 3,5 years. He was adventurous (the only gerbil ever to climb my head!), incredibly stubborn and beyond gentle.
In the end, he was so sick he could nearly eat, drink, or do much else but breathe. So me and the vet made the decision to let him go.
I am sad, because this little fuzz ball was my buddy. But at the same time I am relieved he no longer has to suffer.
Jamie, I love you. I hope you’ve found Loki and you two are making Heaven a better place together.
