Queen Prawn Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 My oldest hamster died yesterday while I was at work. Brian said she was putzing around at about 3 and had a snack. She was in a sleeping position when I found her. I hate the guilt that follows it. We bought a new one last night and that little dude won't sleep - but that is normal for hamsters when they are getting used to their new surroundings. RIP Stinkus! Say 'Hi!' to Stinky Butt I for me, will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Sorry to hear that Fan, the loss of a pet can be like losing a member of the family. I know that I will be broken up when I lose any of my cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 RIP Stinkus, it sounded like he had a good life. Thanks all - Stinkus was a she. We tried to get another female hamster to replace, but the pet store seemed to only have males and the one put on a show for us so we took him home.

cwsox Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 that is about right for a hamster - no guilt, she was happy - used to raise them as a kid - after Annie, Hammie, and Sammy, I forget the names of the others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I had close to raising a hamster, was mice for a 7th grade science project. We had a male and a female in a cage for 5 weeks, and had to study their behaviour etc. After 3 weeks, they've had 5 babies, but the next day 3 were gone, the mother must hav eaten them.

Be Good Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 You'll be missed Stinkus.... And this happening on the same day as my family dog died. RIP Stinkus and Cocoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?" --Leo Buscaglia I think Stinky passed that test. Pets add so much to our lives. We learn unselfish love and how to keep our butts clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 I think Stinky passed that test. Thanks - now I am at my desk crying. (not being a smartass, that quote is a great one.) It is true - she brought me joy, I just hope I did the same for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
