Those who read here regularly will remember 'Hammy' perhaps?Well as of yesterday she is no longer, she is deceased, gone to the great hamster cage in the sky :(
I appreciate this isn't on the scale of some of my recent losses but it makes me a little sad nonetheless, despite the fact that she didn't live with me any longer.
When life necessitated that I move to my parents eighteen months ago I couldn't keep her so my brother took her, but she had an eventful little life and after she made a number of escape attempts it was decided she would go to one of his friends. She had narrowly missed a few over enthusiastic 'investigations' by his dog and it was only going to be a matter of time....
The said friend is an animal nut and really wanted her as opposed to just taking her out of kindness so, off she went about a year ago to join the menagerie already resident at her new home.
All was well, she was well cared for, I saw her occasionally and she had as much food and attention as any hamster could wish for.
She died of old age in her sleep but she was a happy little hamster who had more adventures than many.

Aw sad she's gone.
(Even if she was an arch finger-biting madam).
I am sorry, even being little they occupy a large chunk of heart xx xx
Sorry to hear that but I'm pleased she had such a good home when she had to leave you.
I am very sorry Hammy had to go to the Rainbow Bridge.
Awww... poor thing. They're so much fun, but they don't last as long as you'd like.
Sorry she's gone.
