Good Bye Little Hamster

We lost our little Charlie Thomas this week. He really was the sweetest and best hamster I have ever known. He brought our children so much joy in the 2 1/2 years we had him. We'll really miss the little guy.

Hey Ruthie,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. How are the kids? I remember when I was around Sophie's age I lost my pet goose. I was devistated. He was my pal.
Have a beautiful and blessed day!

Thanks everyone...Sam and Sophie both shed some heartfelt tears the morning that we found him...curled up asleep in his cage. We knew it was coming, though so we had been preparing them for it. He was probably close to three years old and he was showing his age and had been struggling with his eyes and other ailments. I was actually relieved to see the little sweetheart no longer in pain. Now he's a free spirit and can scitter here and there and everywhere (:
