I'm so sorry for your loss...

sad to read this news. What a sweet faced little creature. I'm sorry for the loss of your furry friend.

sorry for the loss miki, what a cutie though

thank you guys so much. We just moved up here and most of our distant friends don't understand why our hamster's death is so grevious.

he might have been small, but he was the best hammie ever!

you gotta get bigger pets with bigger life expectancies miki! your hammies are too transient

I'm just reading this now and am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to such an adorable friend.

I had plurked something frivolous for you before I read this, so I deleted it for another time when you are smiling again. Hope you're OK

venutianbeauty - i know...hamsters only last about two years tops, so it really is depressing to have them leave. unfortunately,

we need to get a place of our own before we can get a dog (hopefully a boxer, the fav of CuBaka). one more year!

LBinVA, thank you for your kind words. i really appreciate everyone on plurk for being so kind. a lot of people tend to dismiss small pets

as not really being that important. and we are living with relatives who don't like pets in general, so our mourning circle is quite small.

pets are furry or feathered family members, large or small. And loss is loss, no matter what

I agree, loss is loss. You have every right to your feelings!
