and so it goes.

This past Sunday night, Dori and I lost our dear little rat, Gustav.  Things are very sad around our place as we try to adjust to life without our handsome little friend.
Here is one of the last sketches I made of him, as he cuddled with his brother, Bernard.

And one of our favorite pictures of him on a play day at the park.

Goodbye, Gustav, and thanks for enriching our lives for the past two years.  We love you, little guy!
