Goodnight Biscuit

[Kay_zee]

Unfortunately today was a one way trip to the vets for Biscuit. It was confirmed that she had Pyometra, and it was therefore clear that Biscuit would not recover, only deteriorate further.

I kept a close eye on her today, as her breathing was really laboured and she struggled to go to sleep. She slowly was wandering aimlessly around the cage and after awhile I got her out to comfort her. She sat quietly on my arm for ten minutes looking at me, before steadily walking up from my arms. I knew she was telling me that she no longer wished to fight. She stopped, tickled me around my face with her nose and whiskers for awhile as if to be saying goodbye. It's never an easy decision, but Biscuit made it as easy as she could.

She was a hamster that was full of life, a fighter and a friend to anyone who would give her some fuss. I hope she enjoyed her life with us. She certainly was priceless to me. I would like to say a big thank you for everyone that has shown support and given me advice during a tough week.

The eccentric baby
With a timid streak
Comes to call her home
With a hamster geek

In a huge mansion
With pretty views
Waking the house
On bars she chews

Free in her play pen
Scaling up the wall
Jumping back down
Away she crawls

The on looking eyes
Watch her as she plays
Greeting them all
With her public displays

The one sure fire thing
That’ll make me smile
And that alone
Makes it worthwhile

A special friendship
For it lasts a lifetime
Until away you slip
Into a final dream

Sleep well Little Miss

Thanks you for all your kind words. It's really helped to have such support and realise that I did what was needed and ultimately the right thing.

It's a little harder because now I know with being at university for the next two years, I can't expect anyone to look after a hamster, which would normally help me through, so instead of thinking to the future positives I'm analysing the past too much (for instance Biscuit fell from the vet's hands, not far at all, but it shocked me a little and then makes me wonder if it happened again once we'd left).

My boyfriend has kindly said that if he can make it down the weekend after, then Poppet can stay with me for a week, as my mum and husband are going on holiday soon and I said I would look after my younger brother, but obviously with the circumstances that will be a lonely 10 days.

With Poppy and others I've been able to do something small as a tribute, for instance I have Californian Poppies in the garden which are such bright colours, so I've decided I'm going to do what I've thought about doing for awhile. Research health and genetics and write my own little book. The two years should be a suitable time frame for it.

In the meantime, Biscuit has helped my mum catch the hamster bug and she is thinking that in the future she would want one herself (after Christmas). There are no breeders in the area that we can find, so I have offered that when she decides she does want one, to tell me and I'll look at the breeders which are close to me first.

And of course I'll be sticking around. :)
