Our beloved Mr. Gecko died today on April 9, 2008. He was a great gecko with many talents. He could change color faster than you could blink. Green, brown, and purple were his favorite colors to change into. Mr. Gecko bore two children in his life, here in the Bowman house. Although Mr. Gecko is in fact actually a girl, we never referred to him as one.
Mr. Gecko's children, fortunately, will not miss him. They too have passed on. About a month ago, Josh was climbing out of bed, hap-hazardously, when he accidentally smashed flat one of the baby geckos under his foot. Later in the month. I was checking our mouse trap when I came across the second baby gecko, that had been missing for several weeks, he got stuck in our sticky trap. On a happy note, they are all together again.
Although we do not know the cause of Mr. Geckos death. We suspect loss of his children, we think he was starving himself. Wasn't able to deal with the loss... Josh buried him outside by the telephone pole. He will be missed here in the Bowman house.
