I'm really sorry to see what you've been going through the last few hours & so sorry that Harry has gone to the bridge, it must have been really hard for you & such a shock.
Thinking of you.
Play well at the bridge little Harry.

I am so sorry, just catching up with this thread, it must be such a shock and distress for you.

Once again, so sorry for your loss. Play well at the bridge little fluff x

you mentioned wet tail, if you didn't see the most obvious sign (diarrhea) i really do not think he had it..

It is so sad that you went through all of this. Once you get experience with hamsters, or any rodent really, you become familiar with the process of death. I find it easier to deal with the loss of my hammies and other small pets by allowing them to return to the cycle of life. I will often bury my small ones in the yard under an arbor of morning glories. I just recently buried Ted E. Bear, my Golden hammy, in a big patio pot. I will be reminded of him in the Spring when he helps beautiful flowers bloom in my yard. I remember, about 40 years ago, one of my gerbils passed away when we were at our summer place, which was right on the Appalachin Trail in Upper Greenwood Lake, New Jersey. I had found a heart shaped rock, all glittery, and I buried my little gerbil under a Scotch Pine I had planted when it was only about 6 inches tall. About 15-20 years later I was up there visiting, as my brother then owned the property, and I actually found the little heart shaped rock...under a Scotch Pine that was now a great big tree. I hope you are able to place your small friend somewhere where you can remember him. Play well at the bridge Harry.

These are the pots I use, and a photo of an arch of morning glory vines I have buried some of my furries under.

Aw that's a great little thing!
Harry was buried in a Marilyn Monroe printed box (funny I know, I love Marilyn and it was all I could find) with a few of her favourite toys and bedding.

So nice to hear you gave him a lovely seen off.
RIP little Harry - the bridge is waiting for you. xxx

I really like the Marilyn Monroe box being used. After all Harry was your little star! How very unique.
