Default Goodnight Robbie...<3

I didn't think I would be writing one of these any time soon, infact writing one had never even crossed my mind. But it is with great sadness that I have had to say goodbye to my little Robbie, who unfortunately passed away on Saturday afternoon. He had been unusually sleepy and slow on that morning so I had been keeping a very close eye on him...I was by his side when he passed and I am forever thankful that he was not on his own.

This was the very first photo I took of Robbie, the day I went to p@h and made the mistake of looking in the adoption centre. It was love at first sight, I knew I had to take him home.



When I adopted him, p@H could give me no clue of his age at all, all I knew was that he had been returned to them after being the victim of fighting from his brother, which was apparent from the damage to his ears.

Robbie was only with me for 8 weeks in total, and I can only hope and pray that he had the best 8 weeks of his life while he was here.

He was a speedy little man and totally loved his wheel, I sat and watched him running for many hours...



The last few weeks have been a difficult time for me, and Robbie certainly brightened my darkest days...always managing to put a smile on my face. We certainly bonded a lot in the short time we had together and I hope he knew that he was helping me in some way, just as much as I was helping him and giving him a happy home.

These are some of the last few photos I took of Robbie before Saturday








Words can't describe how much I loved this little ham and how much I wish we had more time together before his time came. But I will hold on to the fact that we helped each other in times of need and I have amazing memories of that short but sweet time.

Robbie you will never be forgotten and there will always be a special place in my heart for you. <3

RIP Robbie <3 <3 <3

What a lovely memorium you wrote for Robbie Nikkigrace and I could feel your sadness coming through the words. It`s tragic that he has been taken from you in such a short time. He looked so happy and healthy. You gave him eight weeks of joy and companionship and that`s what matters. When we rehome little adoption hamsters, it`s a second chance for them and a wonderful thing we do to give them that lease of life that they might not otherwise get.

Me and Rocky (robo) send our condollences Nikki and hope somewhere out there, you find another little one just like Robbie to love in time. xxx

I'm really sorry you've lost him... It was great of you to take on a rescue though and I know he'll have loved the time with you.
Play well Robbie, I'm sure Skip'll look out for you over the bridge

I'm so sorry Robbie looks absolutely gorgeous in these photos & surrounded by so much love & great fun things to do in his cage & playpen. He can have had no doubt how loved he was. I am so glad you gave him such a happy home even if it was only for a short while. Eight weeks is a long time in the life span of a teeny hammie, what a fab end to his days he spent with you

Thank you so much everyone, the support on here is great certainly what I need at the moment...

Just thought I would share this final picture with you all, we braved the snow and laid our little Robbie to rest on Sunday morning outside the front of the house.

Lovely, lovely memorial

Robbie always looked so happy in all the pics you posted. He definitely bonded with you in his own robo way, always inquisitive and always happy to see you!

Sleep tight Robbie xxxx
