Death in the Family....Dharma

Jan 07, 2009 12:49

I woke this morning to find that Dharma- my sweet little Black Bear Hamster- passed away last night. :-(
She was the sweetest baby. She liked taking treats from my mouth and curling up on my neck under my hair. I loved the way she stuffed treats into her cheeks.
She was a housewarming/ Christmas gift from project_mayhem_ when I moved here. She grew from being a sickly little thing about the size of a walnut (with a fat butt) into a friendly super cuddly hamster who actually weighed about a half a pound. She'd climb up on my shoulder and we'd walk around the house. Sometimes I'd put her into the bed and she'd curl up at my chin or under my hair. She also liked getting into her ball and chasing the cats around the house.

Burying her in the frozen ground was not really the best way to start the day.




my kids, death, dharma
