I don't know if that was why I couldn't sleep last night and was restless. He passed during his sleep, hopefully not painfully. I am glad I let him out to roam freely a couple of times and in his short life he got to experience a few moment of what it was like to be a rat, scurrying around and going into tunnels. I am glad I shelled out little extras for his hamster duvet, his toys and his hamster ball and that he got to enjoy them all.Herc was a good listener, climber and wheel-runner. He was a smart little hamster, learned his name and my voice. In his life he had chewed wood blocks, metal bars, TV cable, Ethernet cable, table legs, chair legs, wall corners and my fingers, all tentatively.
He still looks like he would wake up anytime, sniff the air and do his rat things. Rest in peace little guy. It was nice having you around. I hope you felt the same about me.
He most definitely felt the same way about you. He may have had a short life but it was filled with love and warmth. He knew how much you loved him, he'd always roll to you in his ball.
ReplyDeleteHe's in hamster heaven looking down at you smiling, with poop hanging on his fur skirt.
So sorry to hear Mish, it's never easy.
:'(
RIP Herc. He was a god among hamsters.
