I need to reedit this entry. It was four in the morning and I was tired.
I wish she was, but no, she died. I'm not sure if it was something she ate or infection left over from the surgery. The nice thing was that I got to be there for her to snuggle up against as she went. Cripes, I know they have short life spans but I don't know if I'm ever going to get good at letting them go.
I only ever had 2 hamsters. One escaped and made itself a cat-snack. The other managed to snag some synthetic Barbie hair (maybe for nesting, no idea) and ingested it. I held him as he died. :(
had to change that entry. That's what I get for typing when tired.
No, Booth died. She'd been fighting it for a long time but yesterday she snuggled up against me and went. Last night while I was trying to get to sleep though Ralf climbed into her cage and ran on the wheel so that I could hear the whirring noise it makes and fall asleep.
Of course, Bonzai ALSO crawled into the cage and stole all her food - I'm not sure how that was supposed to comfort me but at least they're trying.
*Has terrible flashbacks to Ratatouille death and trying to give CPR with a piece of straw and tequila* Aaw honey,I´m so sorry for your loss! T^T It´s terrible when we lose one of our furry friends. Plushie group hug! *Kits get crushed by a bear hug from Iskra and the over-enthusiastic plushies*
Awww, I am so sorry. With cats and dogs, we get a longer time. But we've loved rats and guinea pigs, so have a sense of the quick turnaround of a small loved-one. You shared a lot of Booth with us--I am sorry. Just....... sorry. A corner of your life you shared with us. mc
