R.I.P. Jeremy

Jeremy the gerbil has passed away. New Haven Cravin' readers will recall his arrival was highly anticipated in the Becker/Parr household. His actual tenure here was a perhaps a bit anti-climactic, seeing as he spent most of his days hiding behind a wall of tissue paper he created in his little wooden house. (Lucy, his first "Mom," told us he was a biter and likely carried diseases, so we dared not disturb him in his house.) The best times were when Owen would somehow get Jeremy in his plastic ball to clean the cage and Jeremy might even roll the ball a little.
