Jack passed away this morning. When I checked on them after I got up, he was lying still on the bottom of his cage, still warm.
Last night I mentioned to Victor that he was starting to lose weight...although he still looked huge, I was starting to be able to feel his spine. Other than that, though, he seemed in good health.
Jack and I didn't really bond until George died. Jack was always shy, but once he was alone in the cage he seemed to appreciate my company more, and because I was afraid he was lonely without his brothers, I carried him around with me as much as I could.
As sad as I am, there are comforting thoughts...he didn't suffer through illness, and he's no longer alone.
I'll post some pictures tonight.

Posted by: Tale at May 18, 2006 08:03 AMso sorry about Jack. He probably missed his friends too much to stay. They were calling him from the bridge and he could resist anymore. At least he went peacefully.
