hey readers,
On Tuesday night, our sweet and lovable hamster Hammy passed away. We didn't know that she had died until Wednesday morning when I went to feed her and our other hamster friends. She was lying down on her bedding which I thought was strange because Hammy always slept buried under it and when I opened the cage to touch her, she didn't move. It was then that I realized that she had passed away peacefully in her sleep. Gord and I were in total shock because the night before Hammy died, she was playing and climbing in her cage so healthy and full of life and now she was gone. We all took it very hard because she was not just a pet, she was a part of our family and we loved her very much.
Five months ago, Hammy became a mom for the first time and she delivered 6 beautiful baby hamsters... 4 black and white panda bear hamsters and 2 white and light brown ones. They were so tiny and so cute even though they had no fur and had their eyes closed. But from the beginning, she was a devoted and caring mommy making sure that her babies were always fed and kept warm and for me, it was an experience that i was always treasure and never forget. as the babies got bigger and started walking around the cage, they really tried her patience because she was trying to keep them in their nest and as fast as she put them back, they were out again. It was so funny just watching the whole thing and it was then that i started calling Hammy ''Momma'.
Eight weeks later, it was time for the babies to leave their Momma and go to their new homes. My best friend, Jenn took 'scooter' to her new home and was welcomed by her 2 cat brothers, Danny and Dasher and they are all very happy together. We kept one of the babies, who is my hamster named after my birthday twin ' Mickey Mouse' and she was welcomed by her 2 cat brothers, Garfield and Oreo, and 2 hamster siblings, Charlie and Nibbles. Hammy was the sweetest little hamster and she loved to be picked up and cuddled and she never bit any of us. She was buried in our back yard where she sleeps peacefully.
We love you very much Hammy and we hope that you are happy in heaven.
R.I.P.
