Pico Died

Poor little guy. I'm always surprised that I get so sad when my pets die. I think the expectation is (especially since they're rodents and I'm an adult) that I proceed as if nothing happened. But it's really obvious when they're going to die soon, and I always feel so bad, since they're so obviously in pain. All morning on Friday (he died in the afternoon), Pico just wanted to rest his head on my hand. Then he sat next to me, under a blanket, until a couple minutes before he died. I held him when he died. Poor guy.

So... how about a baby photo?


And since he's the last of the boys (wow), here's a cute group cuddle photo. They did this all the time.
