Kiiro-chan died this morning. She got sick suddenly this weekend, and was eating little, having trouble balancing, and really low on energy. I spent every night this week up late with her, as she looked really bad, but she really kept hanging on as long as she could. She eventually started eating and drinking again, and yesterday even though she was still sick, she was doing her best to be normal… she even was making feeble attempts to chirp with Pi-chan. They sounded more like moans or meows, but she was trying. Last night was pretty bad for her, though. I didn’t get much sleep at all and neither did she, and finally at 7:30 am she died.

I’m worried about Pi-chan again now, but I’ll do my best to give him as much company as I can. Also, I don’t know what to do with the body. I don’t have a yard to bury her in, and Japan has really strict rules for disposing of anything… so I’d better find out what to do today.

I’m really exhausted… time for work…
