Yet more sad news

I made the difficult decision to have my lovely Emily put to sleep. Whilst she was still active and seemingly happy in herself the lump had become so big it was almost half the size of her body, had rendered one of her back legs useless and was beginning to develop sores where it dragged on the floor on the underside. I really couldn’t leave it any longer so I took her on her last journey.

As sad as I am to lose yet another mouse in such a short space of time Emily had a good long life and hadn’t had any real health problems until quite recently. She was always a bit of a wild girl and her ‘livewire’ personality and zest for life had me hooked within a couple of hours of her coming here. She could be a moody madam when it suited her (like when I first tried introducing her to Poppy and Dot!) but was also so sweet and gentle at times. I feel privileged to have been owned by her (she wasn’t the sort of mouse to be owned lol) and will miss her terribly, as will her cagemates who seem a bit lost without her bossing them all around.

Emily my darling I hope you know that I made the decision out of love. Thank you for being you. x
