I will miss you, Tres

My hamster population is dwindling... from 5, it's down to 4 now. Beloved Tres passed away earlier today, falling into a deep sleep never to awake again. I saw him lying there soundly in the little house when I was feeding them this morning. I'm quite sad cos I haven't been spending much time with my hamsters recently, especially since I've been busy with the exams and spend most of my time playing with Vodka instead. So my dear hammies, esp the recently departed Tres, I'm sorry I haven't been a good owner, but I hope you've had a great life in your little abodes.

Soon, the numbers will dwindle down further to just 2 as I'm giving dear Ziggy and Stitch away, the babies of the lot (they're almost 1 yr old already though - to call them baby hamsters would be unfitting). But they were the last batch of babies that Baby gave birth to, so in my eyes, they're the babies still. I'm giving them to my aunty, who has requested for 2 hamsters. I love them dearly but I just haven't had the time to handle them and give them the love they desire, so hope they'll have a better life with my aunty. They're the fattest of the bunch now too. Greedy fellas. At least one plus point would be that I would never see them die, something which I'd rather not deal with, really. It'll save me from another 2 occassions of heartbreak, the way mine did this morning when I spotted Tres.

Vodka did give me some consolation when I cried in his fur. He was extremely caring today, tagging me along in the house, following me loyally as if he knew I was upset and wanted to cheer me up just with his company. It did help me, strangely, and I am happy to have such a wonderful dog. I just want to enjoy his company, not wanting to think of unhappy moments and occassions. Let's hope the day never arrives, and we will live in one another's company forever - just the three of us, and my hammies.
