I was going to write about the super fun time I had at the meet-up on Saturday, but that was all overshadowed by the death of my hamster, Monster Quest, on Sunday morning. She was a very old hamster (3 1/2 years is like 107 in hamster years) and she was (as far as I can tell) suffering from some sort of cancer, probably uterine cancer which is extremely common in small rodents. After I got over the initial grief, we biked to Michael's and I bought a little wooden box to be her coffin, a wooden cross to mark the grave, and a miniature teddy bear to keep her company. We buried her in the back yard under a tree.
She was a good hamster, she will be missed.
shuffled off this mortal coil and gone t,
