Hi Everyone.
Today is a sad day. When I got up this morning, I found my little baby Speckle had passed away. 
She is the one who has been sick for a while, so it wasn't really a complete surprise, but I thought she had been doing better lately. But I did notice just yesterday that while Annie seems to have grown since I got her, Speckle was still about the same size as when I got her back in October, and those two had been the same size then.
Thankfully, Annie and Cinnamon didn't cannibalize her. Actually, to the contrary, they were snuggled together in their straw ball just looking at her. Normally they'd be asleep in their nest, but they weren't. They were just watching her. It was really sad. They seemed to know that it wasn't right. Maybe it's just me, but they actually looked sad (or maybe they're just tired).
Anyway, I'm sorry to bring bad news, but I'm really sad, and my friends don't understand. They think I'm crazy to be sad about a mouse. But she was my baby. I just hope that she felt loved and taken care of while she was here, and that she's not suffering anymore.
Thanks for listening.
