Ouch! Something is wrong with my paw.. can't move it!
Wonder what's wrong, I hope my owners can help me soon.
I'm sure they will, they always make me happy.
Oh look, she's giving me cucumber.. mmmm
My favorite!
OUCH! I squeak as my owner scoops me up. Please don't touch me their!
I flatten my ears when my owner's nurser starts squeaking..
REALLY LOUD!
My owner looks at her Nurser and scoops me up back into my nest.
I ignore the pain in my paw and start to crawl around.
Hey look at me, my owner uses a weird 3 legged thing to hold
her camera..
what is that called..
Oh ye, a tri-pod!
I'm a trip-pod hamster!
Heheheheheh! I squeak with laughter. I finish my cucumber and start to sleep.

Hmm.. my owner isn't doing anything about my paw. I wonder what is wrong, I hope
I didn't injure it.. then I can't tease my owner's cat Claire and run between her legs!
I smile, Claire is like my sister!
I yawn and nibble on my piece of apple puff.. mmm it's so good!
I have been really sleepy lately, hopefully it will ware off.

Hey! My owners are putting me in a box! Waahh? I squeak in pain. My paw hasn't gotten better.
Something weird is going on.
Why is water coming from my owner's eyes? I blink and squeak.
Is it raining through her eyes? I giggle at the thought!
I blink sleepily. Uncomftorable.. I start to sleep.. glancing a look at my owner.

Where am I? I blink. I felt cold and tired and hungry and thirsty. Hey.. where is my owner?
Suddenly, the lid opens. I squeak from the flash of white light. A human was staring at me!
"Hi sweetie!" It cooed. I frowned. Where was my owner? I turned around and saw my owner's nursers
I squeak.
I look at the mysterious human and it bends it's finger down to stroke me. Not thinking right, I weakily nip her.
It drew back and it laughed. "Aw, you cutie! You got me that time!"
I stared at her and blinked
"I know your in pain, once I do my magic you will be in peace and asleep!"
I smiled. I like that idea!
I then frowned. Where was my owner?
I looked up. I noticed the mask on my nuzzle. I felt sleepy... I laid down on the towel.
I couldn't feel any pain. I didn't feel anything in my body.
Strangely, I felt peaceful!
Then, I notice a needle going into my body. Expected to meet pain, I just feel sleepy.
I close my eyes and smile. My pain is gone, I knew I could count on my owner.
I closed my eyes to enjoy the sleep, and I slept for a really long and peaceful time.

Peanut was about 1 month and 5 months old when I put her down.
She was a female, syrian, short haired, cream roan.
I knew I wanted to name my first hamster Peanut.. and it came true!
Peanut was my first hamster and I will never forget her.
She loved to be handled and loved to sleep on me.
She was immediately tamed and she was never a hassle for me.
Oh man, but she hated her first cage.
We bought her a crittertrail, and she loved the tubes. However, she started to grow..
and eventually.. on the second night we got her.. SHE ESCAPED!
I was shocked, and it took one hour to find her.
Apparently, she climbed up a foot cardboard lays box, and went underneath that box into the spices box!
She was looking at me when I found her. She had a mischevious look..
she was a booger!
When we got her a tank, she would tilt her wheel to the side and onto the ledge. Her cage is on a soft table so when she fell off she would not
get hurt! My dad once told me that he was in the bathroom and then in came the hamster!
I loved Peanut so much!
Peanut loved to cuddle with my cats, and tease them! She would touch their tails, and quickly scurry under for cover.
I would laugh my butt off!
Sadly, while my sister was handling her, Peanut decided to lick her hand.
My sister freaked out and dropped her from 2 1/2 ish feet.
I noticed something was wrong.. she was wobbling weird.
She couldn't use her left leg, it was disabled.
My mom yelled at my sister and me.. saying that we had to be more responsible.
I don't blame my sister.. I feel bad for her.
She loved Peanut as much as me.
Soon, my family decided to go the vet.
Peanut couldn't move, walk, drink, eat, clean herself, I felt bad for her.
She still managed to greet me by dragging herself out of her nest like always in the morning.
She still ate her special cube of cheese on Sundays.'
She still celebrated easter by eating her egg.
She still drank water.
She never gave up.
The day after easter, I knew I had to put her down.
She couldn't even move or go to sleep.
She was in pain.
I made my parents put her to sleep without me..
all I said was goodbye. I kissed her even if I'm not supposed too. I was full of tears when I went to school.
My mom picked me up early, so I could go to my grandma's house and bury her.
R.I.P Peanut. You were the sweetest first hamster I could ever have
Peanut passed away from either a broken leg or nerve damage, however we think it's nerve damage.
