I never in a million years thought I would be making this post. She was too young, too beautiful and too special to be taken so soon. There was nothing at all visibly wrong with out beautiful girl. She was doing everything normally the evening before she left us but when I went in to check them the next day it was clear that she was dying. She could hardly walk and appeared to have had a severe stroke. I lifted her and held her close tucked in my jumper and comforted her as best I could. She was calm and I told her she was loved and she could fly free and she died in my arms a few minutes later.
It isn't fair but life is never fair and you never know how much time you or they have. I feel guilty, angry and so, so sad as she had such a short life. I don't think we could have done anything because we didn't know there was anything wrong but we still keep wondering.
She must have had some weakness somewhere which took her from us even though she was bred and raised here with the greatest of care and attention to ensure the pups were healthy. It's nobodies fault.
We know she was much loved and knew nothing but care with us but we miss her so much. That cheeky little unique face and her sparkling personality. She was just the most special of little ones from the moment we saw her. We had so much fun watching her and holding her and seeing her experience all they new things that happen to a baby hamster. She was just the best and a true heartham to Pophammy especially.
I was a privilage to share your all too short life my sweet and we are sorry it wasn't longer. It should have been but it looks like heaven needed a little golden tortie girlie with a gorgeous cream face to sparkle up there.
Play well at the bridge Creamface McPatch - till we meet again xx
All our love Souffle, Pophammy and BigD xx
There were taken only a couple of days before she left us and the last pics we have of her.
