A Death in the Zoo

After a long battle with fungus, one of the Guys died this week. We at the Zoo are sad for our own loss, and especially for the other Guy, but in reality he had been suffering from this chronic illness for about a year now, so I believe he is better off now.

We don't know much about his life before joining us at the Zoo, but we believe him to have been around 10 years old! All we know is that many years ago Mark & Ashley, some fellow animal loving friends from Atlanta, saved him and a few other Guys from a neglected pond in their apartment complex. When Mark and Ashley moved from Atlanta to Kansas, they were concerned about the long trip, so they moved the two remaining Guys into our apartment and we have cared for them ever since. After discussing it with the Guys, we all agreed that at such an old age it would be better for them to move to KC with us rather than to start over with another family, so they made the move with us and seemed no worse for the wear. The Guy is survived by his longtime friend and companion, the other Guy.

We have enjoyed many years of entertainment, companionship, and conversation. Guy, you will be missed.
