We're here to say goodbye to a cherished friend: Reba, the hamster. Reba was a good hamster. She was a fine listener, always willing to put a smile on the face of my little Moo. (Even though she made it hard to sleep at night with her gnawing on the sides of the cage and running a marathon on that squeaky wheel)....she will be sadly missed. (I won't miss cleaning that cage!) Moo would put her in her little hamster ball and let her roam around....the cat loved that...said with EVIL laugh!
So...Reba, the hamster was laid to rest this morning. Well, not really, she's laying very still in her cage which is still in my daughters room because I couldn't bring myself to carry her downstairs out to to the garage.
So...I sent a text to Mr. Mom and told him to PLEASE have the hamster G.O.N.E. when I get home. I loved that little rodent and didn't mind holding her but seeing her laying there made me sick....cuz now she's just a rodent. Ugh! I know that sounds harsh but I'm just keepin' it real.
Anyway....Reba is gone...Moo was sad for a moment this morning but she's one that takes death very easy. I'm not sure why. She doesn't cry, she wants to talk about it but doesn't really get upset.
I wish I had a picture to share with you all but I don't. Just close your eyes and think "fat fuzzy teddy bear hamster"....there, can you see her?
So, my Woo to the Hoo goes to Reba for keeping Moo critter happy for almost a year! I'm going to make myself clear right now...are you listening.....WE ARE NOT GETTING ANOTHER ONE!

Oh, so sorry about the loss. I agree. My dear hubby had to remove the aforementioned rodent in our home too after it's passing. We never got another either but we did get a dog.
ReplyDeletesorry for your loss. hope your little ones are coping well with the loss. Oh and I would not have been able to prepare the critter for burial either
ReplyDeleteOH R.I.P. poor hampster. What a beautiful eulege. :) Oh, and your music literally made me jump. You would think I would be use to it by now, but it had someone whispering and scared the geebers out or me....
