Sadly two out of my previously seven little fluffs passed away this week. Its been really hard as each one was so unexpected. Sadly, as each hamster was so shy, I never got any pictures of them, but below is a description of each.
Reeses was a feisty little hybrid girl who looked exactly like a russian dwarf. She passed away very suddenly early Tuesday morning from a stroke she had the night before. I wasnt able to hold or stroke her until her last moments because she was so aggressive, but I treasured those last few minutes. She had the best of everything, with a huge tank,sleeping house, and all the treats and chews a hammy could want. Oh yeah, and she loved her wheel so much. It was like she never slept. I hope you are enjoying that giant wheel in the sky, Reeses, my little character.
Pops was a classic little agouti robo, and a wee little old man. He wasn't one for any cuddles, but he never bit me even though I terrified him. Poor buddy, you were so I'll.
I tried to give you water but you gave your last breath in the palm of my hand on Thursday. I was so depressed I tried to do hammy cpr but after half an hour, even though your heart was.still thumping, you were not going to start breathing again, so I let you lie still in my palm.
I will miss both of you so, so much, more than I could have ever thought. Play well with snickers, snickers, (yes there were two) hersheys, and oreo up at the bridge where one day I will see you all again, until then, lots of sunflower seeds to you little fluffs. :')
