Losing a Pet

Sorry it's been such a long time since my last post... Recently, our pet Robo Dwarf hamster, Dale, passed away. While this type of hamster usually lives for only 1-2 years, Dale was a part of our little family for 2 years and seven months! We feel very fortunate and honored to have had him in our lives.

It was very hard to accept that he was gone at first. No longer did we hear him rustling his bedding as he was waking up or the sound of his wheel spinning as fast as he could make that blue cylinder go. The room he occupied now felt empty. You might be saying, "why all the fuss over a hamster?" Well, Dale was one of our first pets (besides our goldfishes) that have been with us since college. My boyfriend and I attended separate colleges and had joint custody over him which meant, I would have him one month and my boyfriend would have him the next, etc. Dale was over at our parents houses after we graduated and was our room mate at our new apartment... We had a lot of history with that little guy.
