R.I.P., Mary

It was with deep regret that I report that our Mary had to be euthanized on July 4.  But she would have died many months ago had we not fought to keep her going with medications. She lived a lot longer than nature would have allowed.

She was our little Mary-bird, and we called her that because she liked to sleep on the bird seed tray in the cage (the cage was meant for big songbirds, like parrots, but it's perfectly suitable for small mammals too).
