early morning funeral

One of the kid's gerbils died overnight.
Not the best of things to discover first thing in the morning.
It made it through a lot over the last 3 years...being terrorized by the cat at times, living through the fire and being forced into a gay relationship due to the amorous attentions bestowed on it by the other male gerbil (since they are caged, does that mean I was condoning penitentiary love?).
No more.
I expect the other one to pine away and go soon now as well since his roommate/lover is deceased. And I refuse to procure a replacement...no more rodents!

AHCK! Which one died?? I'm sad. Did it just croak or was it sick or what happened?? I don't know how long gerbils normally live.
