Yesterday in the early party of the day Mariah showed me that Saffron was very weak and passive. We tried to help her perk up and it seemed to work for a while after I gave her an apple slice. She even got feisty for a little while but by bedtime she was lethargic again. It came as no surprise this morning that she had died overnight. Considering how she never took to captivity and was rarely content to be handled it seems a mercy that she be released from mortality. I hope she knows that we loved her despite the fact that we had to limit our interactions with her.
