I just can't believe what an awful awful fortnight it's been... I can't believe I'm writing another obituary either :*(

Wanda was very special to us, some of you will have seen her on your Christmas cards - she was just gorgeous, and looked like a silver polar bear :*) Today we found her passed away in her cage - very peaceful. We don't know what happened to her, I suspect it was just infection - her immune system was none to clever after she picked up a bug as a kitten. She was so fit such a short time ago, and went down hill scarily fast :(

Wanda was a lovely, girl - so gorgeous, so licky... just wonderful. She was a good friend to me, and always there for cuddles - I know I'll miss her so much. She was pretty, with lovely big eyes - and her rexing was a bit rubbish, but that didn't matter - she was just lovely like a threadbare teddy. I'm totally numb though these days, I don't know what to say, I never used to have this problem with obits - but it's been such a hard time lately - I just don't know.

Wanda was too young really - not a baby, but still too young. She can go and find her dad at least, although her mum is still trucking on. Her brothers here will remind me of her at least - and her identical twin brother Arfur, who lives with my brother Christy will remind me of her always - Russian Silver Rex is just lovely :)

Run free gorgoeus girl - here's the song you were named after:

Zig Zag Wanderer - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band:

Zig zag wanderer, zig zag wanderer (rep.)
You can huff, you can puff
You'll never blow my house down
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)

You can jump, you can holler
Never lose what I found
Heaven's free 'cept for a dollar
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)

The zig zag wanderer had a zigzag child
Zig zag traveller for the mercy mile
Found his wheels and nature scene
Quenched his thirst, (in a?) way it never been
Zig zag wanderer (rep.)

You can dance, you can prance
Freeze those timbers, drop some beams
Hide my shield, throw away my lance
Zig zag child, mercy mile
Zig zag dream, zig zag dream
Zig zag
