Default Rest In Peace sweet angel Monty

This evening around 6PM our darling Monty was put to sleep at the vets after the discovery of a huge fast growing internal tumor. It was a terrible decision to have to make but sparing her the pain and discomfort of letting her condition progress is the least that we could do for her. We owed it to her after all the love and joy she has brought us. She was 21 months old. She will be very very deeply missed.

She was our first hamster and from day one her sunny personality brightened up our lives. She was always gentle, innocent, sensitive and trusting - an example of a rare pure soul that I as a human being could only wish to be like.

It was incredibly strange, driving to the vets with Monty in her carrier this evening because she usually burrows right under her substrate all the way but this time she sat on top of the substrate looking out. It had been raining in the vicinity and there was a rainbow visible in the sky for the entire journey. What is stranger still is that it seemed from a few kilometres away to end roughly where the vet practice is. I know this sounds strange and possibly I'm just reading too much into coincidences but there was something reassuring in all of this.

Monty - thank you for being the perfect hamster. We love and miss you and will never forget you.

My sincere condolences Vierville. I was so very sorry to read about Monty’s tumour on your other thread and realised that this sad moment would come for you.
You gave Monty such a loving home and he responded in the gentlest manner to you.
He has crossed that rainbow bridge now, free of pain, restored to health and will have been welcomed by so many friends who have gone before. It is a comforting thought that we have all experienced.
Rest in Peace Monty. You will be much missed as you were much loved.

Monty followed the rainbow and sensed that her time had come. Maybe she was looking forward to her journey.

It is a very sad day for you and your wife and all of us here because Monty was such a big part of this community and will be missed.

Farewell Monty and our thoughts are with your grieving human family.

I'm quite sure the rainbow was sent ready for her and for you to know peace in your decision. She had a charmed life and you made a choice from love to set her free.
Run free at the bridge little Monty x

I am so sorry for your loss. It was a kind decision and she is playing free without pain and suffering over the rainbow bridge. Terribly hard for you.

What a beautiful image of the rainbow in the sky as you were taking Monty to her final destination. She sounds like she was a wonderful, sweet companion. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Run free and play well at the bridge, little Monty.

I'm so sorry for your loss Vierville, it is the hardest thing to have to help a heart ham on their way but you gave her the final gift of love & the rainbow was a special sign for her time to go.
She had a wonderful life with you, I know she will be sadly missed but she has left you with so many memories to cherish & will forever live in your heart.
Run free & play well at the bridge Monty.
