Goodbye Maple!

[Sasha04]

I couldn’t even understand what this title meant like so many others. Your Maple was one of my favorite hams to read about. I can’t tell you in words how sorry I am for you. It must be very hard to loss a ham at such a young age, I’m sending you huge huge hugs to get through this hard hard time. I can’t express my love for your little trouble maker. It sucks so much that hams have such a short life. You gave her the best life ever in her amazing Maple Manshion! I always loved ready about her and seeing her eat. I’m going to miss your Maples little trouble face with corn in it. I’m now balling my eyes out, I’m so so sorry SKB. Huge hugs to you, the HC community is here for when you are ready to return.
Play well at the bridge Maple with your fellow troublemakers.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Maple SKB, it must have been such a shock. You did everything you possibly could for her but sometimes nature can be so cruel and take our little ones from us before their time, despite our greatest efforts to help them. Maple was incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful life with you and I'm sure she always knew just how special and loved she is. Those photos are a lovely tribute to her.
Sleep peacefully beautiful girl xx

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about Maple. She was so beautiful. You gave her a wonderful life - I hope that gives you comfort.

So sorry to hear this. Hugs.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about Maple! I can only imagine how hard it must be for you SKB, losing young Maple so soon after Pumpkin. I had to read this twice to completely digest the news. You gave Maple so much love and gave her the happiest, most fun time. It was always so lovely to read up on her cheeky adventures and the adorable pictures. Run free and play well at the bridge dear Maple. You will be missed by all of us here in HC and especially your loving mum, SKB.

Thank you Fluffagrams, pinkpixie, Rads, mangoandmimi, souffle, cypher, Thin Lizzy, Scarlett Empress, Coco61, Sasha04, Hammy992, JennySTL, mzwiwy, Razor and Bubbyandhamper for you lovely heartfelt condolences, it is so hard at the moment as I still can’t get my head around what happened - one day Maple was perfectly happy fine and her usual self to really really ill the next. My heart is shattered and I really miss Maple. I only cleaned and sanitised a few bits of Maple’s things the rest I couldn’t bare the thought of cleaning them so I just put everything else in my loft. Your lovely messages really mean a lot and are a great support, so a huge thank you again.

Maple is buried beside Pumpkin in the flower bed in my garden with all my past hamsters. Like with all my other she buried with her whimzee and all of her favourite treats that she can take with her to the bridge.

[Thin Lizzy]

My eyes filled up about Maple being buried next to Pumpkin with her whimzee and favourite treats, the flower bed sounds perfect. You're in my thoughts and I'm sending big comfort hugs to you XXX

[cypher]

It's such a hard thing to come to terms with SKB, I hope your lovely flower bed gives you some comfort & it's lovely that all your hams are together there.
Thinking of you.

I am so terribly sorry this has happened to you and your darling little Maple. Such a shock and so sad. Life can be cruel. All I can say is Maple was lucky to have you in her short life and she maybe had a susceptibility as there is no rhyme or reason as to why some hams never get sick and some healthy ones just succumb and leave us. It’s just very sad and she will be missed. Farewell little girl and play well over the rainbow bridge. Xxxxx
