Sleep well little Oz

I found Oz (one of our two gerbils) at midnight, he had been poorly all day, very still and sleepy and having difficulty moving about. He may have had a stroke or a fit, we simply don't know, he was right as rain yesterday. We were set to take him to the vet in the morning - in many ways I am glad we didn't have to as that would have been worse. As it is we are both in pieces. I am thankful he was in his familiar surroundings, with his brother Xander, until the end. We buried him under the trees in the garden, with the stars shining overhead. Sleep well little lad we will miss you xxxxx
