Pink Nosed Passing

I mourned at the news of his (her) passing. I was never really sure of the gender.

To be sure the little rascal had enjoyed a life much better than he could ever have contemplated.

Offered a home and meals when I'm sure he felt destined to spend his life crouching in forgotten places and scrounging for food... his good fortune must have seemed miraculous.

He gave that same fortune back to College Dude and Language Lass in the way only a devoted pet can.

I'm sure he enjoyed motoring around the house in the safety of his traveling sphere as much as his caretakers enjoyed watching his adventures.

Perhaps it was his extended stay at our home over the holidays that weakened his constitution.  A mouse can deal with only so many cat encounters.
