I can totally relate to the "personal items". Some things of Charlie's were just "his" and I thought I'd never be able to use them again. Time heals though and the items take on new associations in time. Charlie's little plastic pod house (from the Hamster heaven) has since been used by other hamsters in the pet carrier. It is the immediacy of having seen them use it, but time helps.

I can also relate to looking at other hamsters and not being ready. I desperately wanted to adopt a little girl hamster in our local pet shop after Charlie went. She had been there for ages and looked so sweet. But I just couldn't -found the feelings overwhelming. The right time and the right hamster will come along. It does help to have one that looks different or a different species/colour so they can become their own individual to you.
