It is not my intention to make light of this situation; I guess I’m not quite sure how to feel about it. I am sad for CC, who raised these two since they were babies and was very much upset by last night’s discovery. I certainly got more than a little emotional at the passing of our cats Tick-Tock and Brownie a couple years ago, so I am not one of those people who scoffs at emotional attachments to non-human friends. Still, I never established much of an emotional tie to the gerbils, so my emotions towards them are somewhat indirect, looking through CC’s eyes. But since I have spoken of the gerbils on various occasions in this journal, I thought I should mark Gerbilee’s passing.
