Our Little Sunshine, RIP


The beloved, cheerful little Aphid was discovered dead in his home this morning. The cause of death was assumed to be starvation due to the moldy raisin found in the corner of his bowl. A memorial fund has been set up in honor of Aphid and all donations can be dropped off at the Woodland residence. The family/owners are doing well despite the tragic and sudden circumstances in which he left this world.


"He was graciously complacent to be housed in a glass bowl, where he could be watched 24 hours a day. Just his presence was a cheerful reminder of warmer and longer days. But we find comfort in knowing that we will see him again. He is in a better place with his many brothers and sisters, perhaps teaching other ladybugs about the Creation and Plan of Salvation. This is not the end for Aphid, only the beginning."


This tragic death is just a reminder to all pet owners: that diligent, daily feeding and watchful care are important to your pet's survival and existence.
