Okay. So I'm kinda hitting a rough spot right now. I've had alot of stress in my family recently, and on top of that my mom called me yesterday to let me know my hamster, Kong, was sick.
I got Kong last year when I was going through a rough time, and she was the best medicine ever. She was so sweet and she always cheered me up. I couldn't stop smiling when I looked at her, she just filled me with so much love and happiness. It's unbelievable the effect this hamster had on me. She just ...she was the best thing that happened to me this year. I don't know how to describe it, because I've had so many pets, but she just had such an incredible little personality, she was like a little person.
I left her home after Thanksgiving because I knew I would only be back here for 3 weeks and I didn't want to keep bringing her back and forth in the cold for the car ride because it's not good for her. When my mom told me she was sick I freaked out and drove home to see her, convinced that maybe if she heard me she'd fight this.
When I got home she was so weak she couldn't even lift her head and was taking labored breaths. I just sat with her and pet her back, I wanted her to know she wasn't alone. I don't think she was awake at this point, but I just wanted her to know how much I love her.
I went to the movies with my parents last night and when I got back, she was gone. I wish I could have been there with her when she passed so she wasn't alone. She was less than a year old, she was just a baby. She was my baby.
I don't know why but I'm taking this so hard. Well, I do know why, because I love her. She had a big piece of my heart and it just aches without her. I cherished her. I know hamsters dont live long but she died so young. I did everything I could to protect her and it wasn't enough. I just miss my little companion. I miss laughing at her hanging from the top of the cage, or her big yawns. I just miss my little baby. I would have done anything to help her.
I need to take a breather. But here is the most beautiful, incredible, spirited little furball that ever lived. Everyone who saw her fell in love with her, she had a way of warming a room. I love you sweetie.
