My Hamsters are at "Rainbows Bridge"

                                                                                                                    by Dawn Larson.........................................

My Hamster's are at "Rainbows Bridge" by Dawn Larson......................................... This is for my "Sweetie Hearten's" I never knew about Hamsters until a few years ago, I had never known pure JOY, LOVE, FUN and the feeling of being TRULY APPRECIATED, you also gave me the a great reason to live, to get out of bed and to feel needed. Remember all of the wheel changes? When I said SHARE, you would hop off of the wheel no matter how many more miles you planned to run to give your friend next to you a turn and I loved it when you wanted attention, you would pull your water bottle away from the side of the cage and let it go so it would make loud bangs so I would come into your room and pick you up and to all of you that liked to escape (scapers) you know who you are! I lovcd it when I would come into your room and you would run up to me just like a puppy. I miss walking into your Hamster room at night and all of you would be jumping or running or stuffing your pouches so full of food I thought they might explode. I lost all of my wonderful friends in the past to old age, now I have lost 11 of my friends to a virus, this was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me, I still can't believe this happened, such a large part of me is missing now. In the last 4 years, I have not had less than 30 of the most loved the most healthy Hamsters, they are at "Rainbows Bridge", waiting for the day that I join them, until then I will have pictures and the best memories. The virus started when I brought 2 Baby Hamsters home,they showed no signs of the virus, I had not introduced them to the Hamster room,I beleive in a 2 week quarentine, it spread through the house like wildfire. "Regis 1 of the babies died, his brother Baby Lucky (its obvious where his name came from) survived and is healthy and happy and running on his wheel as I write this, THANK GOD. I thank my husband Ray for the loving support and help with my Hamsters, I know he loves them too! UP-DATE...it has been very hard for me to go from day to day, I miss all of my Sweetie Hearten's so much. We have recently moved from California to Washington with out 2 teenage sons, its wonderful here. I decided to fill the house with JOY, LOVE and FUN. Well, the house is a hopping again, we have 5 precious "Sweetie Hearten's" Baby Lucky, Little Man, Slim and Shady and Baby Alfred Jr. They help us to keep the memory of all of our losses alive. I'm thankful for another chance do it all over again.
