Take care of yourself through this as well as the kids.
Still thinking of you, she is no doubt having a riot with
her sister.

Thankyou you. I like that thought of her having a riot with her sister. I'm sure you're right. X x my girls were ok. They accepted it when they knew she was ill. My youngest held her then put a small cuddly bunny in her box so she was cuddling into it. Then drew a design on the box before we buried her. It was so lovely. So she's got a cuddle buddy at all times now 😊😢

What a lovely thought from your little one for to always have company :~)
When I lose a member of my pet family I try to plant something that reminds me of them. With my Chameleon it was Basil as he'd always try to eat mine when he was out I paint a stone for them to and seal it with clear nail varnish.
Take care

When my kids come home they'll say goodbye to her. She will then be laid to rest next to her sister in my woodland garden at home. They may be small. But every time I lose one it feels like my heart breaking. After all they're our family aren't they x x x ty again x x 😙

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I agree I've loss 3 hamsters and they take a piece of your heart with them 18 months old is a very good age for a dwarf
