all hamsters go to heaven


my sweet little hamster died this afternoon. the past few days she has been really sick and i was trying to get her healthy again but it just kept getting worse and worse. her little eyes were so crusty that they wouldn't even open and she wasn't eating or drinking anything. i looked online and it told me to feed her vitamin c and parsley since they both have lots of nutrients and it should make her better but i couldn't get her to take a bite of either. this morning i took her to the vet and he told me she wasn't looking good at all but there was a chance she could pull through. he gave me a syringe of sugar syrup to force down her mouth in hopes that it would help her blood sugar level go up enough to give her enough strength to eat and drink something. she was also super chilled so he gave me a heat pack to keep her on and some eye drops to heal her eye infection. i held her all day long and she seemed like she was moving a little more and when i had to go teach math i went to put her away and she was gone :( my poor little baby. i just loved this little rodent so much, she had the sweetest little personality. i loved giving her toilet paper and watching her stuff her cheek so full it looked like it was going to tear open. i loved waking her up and seeing the sleepiest little eyes staring back at me followed by the most insane looking hamster yawn. she never had a problem with me holding her, i think she actually liked to cuddle my hand. she had a little gimpy foot and a big furry butt but it only made her cuter then any other normal hamster. i wish i could have had you for longer beyonce. i know i'll never meet another hamster quite like you :) say hi to scooter in hamster heaven my little angel.
