Whitmoregirl's Wombles

Not that I’m complaining of course!

I’m sad to say that Lol couldn’t bear Lottie’s sad death and went into a severe depression.

Her teeth were fine but she wouldn’t eat even when offered the absolute unrefuseable treats like cheerios and spent all of her time asleep or staring into space. She dropped a lot of weight and yesterday I decided to take the sad decision to put her to sleep rather than allow her to starve herself to death.

I found these nice photos of the pair happy together that I thought I should share with you.

On friday (13th of all days), Benson and Rudy had a fight out of the blue whilst I was at work. Fortunately neither were killed but there was a lot of blood spilt and Rudy came off the worst. Surprisingly though, they’re acting like nothing happened, so Rudy must have stepped down mid-battle in order to save his life, although up until today he looked very depressed about the whole thing (I would be too!).

Yesterday, saturday 14th, Lottie died. She had been ill since last weekend from which I had been treating her on a course of A.Bs for a respiratory infection that appeared out of nowhere, which I genuinely think gave her this extra week to be with Lol before passing. I think the introduction to Lol kept her going after Mya passed and it’s a sad loss and the end of another era in my gerbils but I know she had a good & happy long life and have no regrets.
