dear skinny legs,


im sorry i could not have been with you at the time of your passing. you have been frail and weak for the past two weeks. indeed, hours before your death, my dad and i were just discussing about your health. i hope you didn't suffer much. when i saw you cuddled up in the food bowl, with most of your fur gone, believe me, i've considered taking you to the vet. however, you were getting pretty advanced in age and all the vet could've done was to put you to sleep. not knowing if you wanted to die in such a manner, at a time that's not of your choosing, i decided to let you pass away naturally.

i hope you wouldnt fault me on this.

just before you died, i cleaned you up with some mild disinfectant as i had noticed your underbelly was pretty dirty. perhaps i should not have done so... i have a feeling that you caught a chill from it and that caused your death. im really really sorry if that's the case. forgive me skinny legs?

your brother and sister are still doing well. your brother still has a growth on his left ear, just like you had skinny legs. you sister is still just as fat and cute. im sure should your siblings have more awareness, they would be sadded by your passing and miss you terribly.

i hope wherever you go after this life, you will find comfort and peace, with plenty of warm bedding, tasty food, and a cooler climate. i also hope you'll find it in your tiny hamster heart a way to forgive me for being a lousy owner.

good-bye skinny legs hammy number 2. thank you for being part of my life and have a good rest. you'll love the place where you will be buried. plenty of open space to run about. :)

yours sincerely,
nicholas

dianna: haha no no please dont destroy another hammy's life and give the poor fella to me! :P anyway, i'm going off next year so i really wont have time to look after them or freeze them or make them go on zero-gravity rides ;P

jess: i know you're being sincere :) well i thought that after all the little guy's been through, the least i could do is bury him properly. :)

ser: i suppose i am very fond of them hamsters. it's just that in death, the affection simply increases ten-fold. sigh :)

RIP Skinny Legs.
