Rizo and Krēm both died this weekend, less than 24 hours apart. -_- I'm actually surprised that Rizo lasted as long as she did considering everything she's been through. I mean, I figured it was only a matter of time, but I'm still really sad because she was such a cool little mouse. Krēm, on the other hand, was completely unexpected. She seemed perfectly fine until the day before she died. But it looks like it was a respiratory infection or something. She was most likely with Rizo when she died, so maybe that's why she didn't put up much of a fight... I never really got a chance to get too attached to Krēm, but it's just not fair that she had to die so young. :( And all this only a matter of weeks after losing Lily, too... The strange part is that Blue managed to outlive them all. She's over 2 years old now, making her Kristin's longest-living mouse, and has been around since the days of Grey and Momo... The crazy thing is that she's the one with the tumor the size of another small mouse growing out of her leg. o_O;;
But fortunately, Blue hasn't been left alone. A few weeks ago, Kristin brought a little silver mouse back with her from Virginia named B'boo. And today, two new babies have joined the family. They're both white with black spots, probably from the same litter. Kris named one of them Fred. Dunno if the other one has a name yet...
