Goodbye To All My Hamsters....

The last of my hamsters, Le Le, died on 28th December 2011 at age 2 years and 5 days.  Somehow, it's extra, extra sad to see the last one go and now the room seems silent and empty without a single hamster.  Harder than seeing them die is seeing them grow old and weak and finally reduced to a ball of unmoving fur in a little corner all day and all night.  In fact, death is a relief.  I am so tempted to buy another hamster to fill the void but am not sure whether I can cope with all the work that comes with it.

I pray that all 6 of you are together, free and joyful like the birds.......not fighting but playing together like you all used to when you were little!  Always will be in my thoughts and in my heart............hope we will meet again one day.  This blog was started because of all of you.  I once told someone, when all my hamsters are gone, this will help me when I miss them but actually, it makes me feel sadder to see their photos......:(

Roast Beef Biscuit

This is a picture of Le Le eating roast beef biscuit.

Momokuai has one too but she's really wishing she's sipping.....

.....a nice strawberry smoothie.

Or the ever so popular bubble tea...(sigh).

How about delicious, refreshing coconut juice..yum!

Oh My Eye!

Poor Lele has been suffering from eye problem for quite some time now. I believe he is allergic to chestnuts. That's as bad as having a swollen eye because he LOVES chestnut! Whenever I feed him chestnuts his eye will swell with pus. Here he is looking rather miserable after I squeezed out all the gooey stuff. I know you don't like it but you will certainly feel better when it's out....

I Miss My Mommy!

A penny for your thoughts....
Poor LeLe looks like he's missing somebody.

Nothing Like A Good Scratch

Le Le sleepily trying to scratch his back. Hey, it's not everyday that you can catch a hamster with his pants down!

Flashback

Life has been busy - so busy that I don't have time to whip out my camera, much less aim them at my hamsters. So an old photo will have to make do for this entry. Mimi's brood of 4. Their fur just growing, their eyes still shut tight. Like anxious mothers, my sister and I would count the days when their fur would sprout and their eyes would open. We will text each other and report "Oh ya - Lele peered at me today! He has got one eye open!" or "Hey, there are two girls and two boys!" or "Oh, we've got one brown one!". So excited were we as if they were our very own babies. Now we will text each other and report whose hamsters are cuter/smarter/naughtier. Everyday we will send pictures of them to each other. Ya, ya, we got nothing better to do with our time......

End Of The Tunnel

I am so sleepy...this tunnel is just too long....zzzzz
