Abe was a rather unconventional family member; she was a mandarin salamander. Just before coming to live with us she'd had two homes in the space of a month because people "got bored" of her. I have no idea how - Abe looked like she was perpetually smiling at you....
She passed away on Friday 13th January, 2012. I have only a rough idea of her age, but she'd been with us six years.
I will miss her happy little soul.
Rest Easy, Abe. Loved always, little one.
