Today we lost a dear pet. She had already lived twice her life expectancy and yet, we all feel she died to soon. She was patient, gentle and forgiving. She was a better pet than I ever expected. She was kind to Jacob, despite all the horrible things he did to her (unintentionally, of course) and even handled life without her best friend for quite a while. I never thought I would care about her the way I do, after all she was just a mouse.
Yes, you read that right. I am writing this about a mouse. The kind of creature that people set out a multitude of traps and poisons for. The kind of creature that makes people scream for no reason. Even in a cage she scared people. People would refuse to check on our cats when we went on vacation if Pinky was in the house. They would cringe at the sight of her, and yet, I stand by what I said before. Pinky was amazing.
Good bye sweet girl. We all miss you!
