Default Goodnight Bashful.

I sadly have no pictures to include since I only had him for such a short time and I'm mostly writing this for my own peace of mind, to help me heal.

Bashful is my beautiful 10-12 week old Dwarf hamster and although I only had him a short while he brought me so much joy and happiness. He passed so young but I knew it was the best for him to make sure he didn't suffer. A disaster happened while I was out at school as Bashful lives in my younger brother's room. The door just happened to not be closed properly although it appeared to be and my Cat got into the room. When we got home Bashful had a small puncture on his back and was prescribed pain killers and antibiotics. All seemed hopeful but with time and overcleaning the wound got bigger and I made the hard decision to take him to vet and have him put to sleep. I didn't want to see him in pain.

I love him dearly and am happy he is no longer suffering.

Rest in peace my baby. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss Caity. It's always hard to make that decision, especially under traumatic circumstances but it sounds like you did the right thing for Bashful. RIP little one xx

Oh no, that is so terribly heartbreaking! I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Bashful. Although he didn't have a long life, I'm sure that you did everything possible to make it a wonderful life filled with tons of love and care. Sadly, tragic accidents do happen sometimes and you took him to the vet and tried your very best to save him. I know it must have been very devastating to have to make such a difficult decision to PTS your loving ham, but you did the most selfless and loving thing you could to ensure that Bashful's passing was as pain-free as possible. May the love that the two of you shared give you comfort during this very hard and emotional time, and please don't be hard on yourself. My heart goes out to you and I am sending big hugs, too.

RIP, darling Bashful; may many fun times be yours at the Rainbow Bridge. Please find a way to send lovely rainbows to your loving ham-parent Caity who loves and misses you so.

As everyone needs their own time I stand by my thought that there is always another out there that needs someone to love and care for them. Only you know when that is. Until then know that we have all been there at one time or another. No one escapes tragedy, it's just when is it your turn. My best to you in finding the peace within. As long as you keep his memory he will never be forgotten.

I'm so sorry this has happened & you lost little Bashful so soon.
It is a very hard decision to have to make but you did the kindest thing for him & he's at peace now.

Run free & play well at the bridge Bashful.

I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my little Baby Blossom and I understand how heartbreaking it is. I really hope that you are coping well and that your are not too traumatized like i was when my 2 hamsters passed. I am sure he is having fun over the rainbow bridge and the fact that you gave him medicine showed that you did not give up on him so make sure that you are proud of yourself because of that.
