That was a beautiful memorial for your first hammy. She was meant for you , I think. Such beauties are usually snapped up quickly. Your ability to tell a story is excellent and you also have a great way expressing feelings. Charlotte was a lucky ham to have you. You never forget any of your hammies, but the first one is something really special. It's the one who introduces you to a world of delicate, interesting, funny furries of the rodent persuasion. So many people think "Rat" and want no part of them. But once you've had a hammie (the other rodents also apply here), the world is a different place. It's amazing how large a place in your heart a hamster takes up. And how empty that space feels when they leave us. I know of many a hammy who will be there to meet and play with Charlotte at the bridge. Run free little girl. I know you'll be missed.
