R.I.P. Slate
Wow, two R.I.P. posts in a row. Aren't we jolly lately?
This time, the journeyer was a little closer to me. It was my gerbil Slate, the most playful of the whole bunch. He was they grey male from the second litter. I found him lying on the floor of his house, rigor mortis not even set in yet, but the breath from his body and the light in his eyes both gone. There were no signs of injury to implicate the cat or the other gerbils. He will be missed.
