Gobo, 4/7/07 - 2/27/10
I wish we could say that things have been without incident here during our absence from blogging, but that’s not the case. :(
Last month, we lost our charming little Gobo. It wasn’t a surprise, because he was getting older, and he was starting to slow down and show his age.
Still, the day he died was a very sad one. I remember the first time I met Gobo at the 2007 New England Gerbil Show. He was part of a litter of “super-friendly” gerbils from Autumnglory Gerbils in Connecticut. Gobo was eager to jump in my hand and run right up my arm.
He was always such an outgoing and friendly gerbil. He paired right up with Buster when we brought him home. Buster was much older than Gobo, and when Buster’s health failed, Gobo was right by his side, comforting him until the end.
When we brought Smurf home to be Gobo’s friend, Gobo paired up with Smurf easily. He was so happy to have a pup to take care of. Just having a youngster around seemed to make Gobo act like a pup himself. :)
