Goodbye Wally

August - James Wiggins

A small, brown degu (a rodent) lies stretched out and asleep in the sun.
I had planned not to post a pet picture this month but Wally passed away in late August and this slightly obscured picture was taken the day before. He was 8 and a half, a ripe old age for a degu, and his passing was swift but seemingly mostly pain free. The evening before he took part in one of his favourite activities - sunbathing.

He's left a huge void and I miss him dearly but he will always be remembered.
