bugshaw at 07:05pm on 30/07/2005And there are no more stirring rodents chez ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bugshaw. I made the mistake of looking up how old Carrie live_gerbil was, and the answer was "really quite". As soon as she heard this she took ill, and stopped eating and drinking, and as she finds being handled very traumatic (she often has fits) we were not able to take any heroic measures. After a couple of days in which she failed to drop off peacefully, the vet put her to sleep this afternoon.
So I'm a bit sad.
We've not had no rodents since 1999.
