Sad news here at Fleur de Lis

Yesterday, our gerbil, Pinky, passed away. I had been noticing a weight loss over the past 2 weeks. The last week, she had become very sluggish and lethargic. I believe that old age finally caught up to her. She showed no symptoms of anything else being wrong. She was the heart of Fleur de Lis. She was our first breeding female. Pinky is survived here at Fleur de Lis by her sons, Jinx and Scamp, her grandson, Tibs, and her mate, Jasper. Jasper is now living with their son, Scamp, who I will get pictures up of very soon.

I will miss her adorable little face looking up at me every evening when I would come home from work. She knew to expect a treat as soon as she heard me walk in, and she was never waiting patiently! She was definitely my most cranky gerbil at times. She was very particular and liked having every thing a certain way. She did not like me to move anything in her tank at all. She would get so aggravated at me! She will truly be missed by everyone here at Fleur de Lis and we know that there will never be another little monster who will take her place in our hearts.
