After losing Oliver not long ago, this comes as a real shock to be writing this.... But Ella passed away in my hands last night. She had been acting a little old the past few days, but nothing major.... I am just glad that I was able to give her a bit more than I gave Oliver. She died holding on to my finger with her little hand and when she was lucid, I think she knew me and felt comforted by me....
She was such a beautiful little 'possum, both inside and out. Definitely the friendliest of the three here.... As soon as I went into the critter room, she'd be at the front of her cage wanting attention (even in the middle of the day). That's how I knew something wasn't right last night. She wasn't there. I will really miss her, even though she wasn't "mine", she wriggled her way into my heart.
