Lucy the Gerbil

Today I am posting about some sad news. Lucy the gerbil passed away yesterday. She arrived at senior age, she was at least 3 years old, possibly older than that. She was a retired classroom pet. She only showed sysmptoms of older age, she did not suffer with any disease or problems that outwardly showed to any of us. In fact, most nights she still ran in her wheel and dug through her bedding. I found her laying in her "bed" made of bedding, passed away. We were all hoping she still had time to be with us and to go through the joys of adoption and truly being loved. Rest in Peace Lucy.
