Death of The Little Guy

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Twelve years ago my wife and I purchased a pair of geckos. We named them based on their sizes: Big Guy and The Little Guy after our son moved out and relinquished their care over to us.

Over the last couple weeks The Little Guy began looking shriveled,  lost his tail without growing it back, and a couple days ago wound up upside down and Virginia had to flip him back over.   Finally, yesterday,  The Little Guy left us.

Big Guy's companion is on a new adventure.

We were told they live about ten years, so The Little Guy going 12 years is an accomplishment.  I am sure Big Guy will follow suit soon.
