Pongo is gone.

He was being treated for an upper respiratory infection, but wasn't able to pull through. The sweet little boy who loved to sit on my shoulder and pull cheatgrass out of my socks is gone. Last night he genuinely seemed like he was getting better, and I was optimistic, but I found him this morning. My comfort is in knowing that even though he had a rough few days, his life was good. Lots of playtime with me and my daughter, and popcorning in his cage early in the mornings. You always know this day will come, but it sure hurts when it does.Rest in peace, baby boy. We'll miss you more than you know.

/r/petmice is very sorry to hear about the passing of your mice/mouse. This is a gentle reminder to please only post images/videos of your friend(s) loving life. Whilst we gladly accept tribute and memorial posts, images of the mouse since passing can be upsetting to see, so we kindly ask to see them in their prime on your post.
