In loving memory.
I remember when Georgie died, i cried like crazy over a few weeks, even in school. Some of them thought it was a joke and kept shouting out Georgie's name in class and idk, somehow just hearing his name made me start breaking into tears. Yes, i was that sensitive lol.
I had him for 3 years. Who ever heard of a hamster lasting that long! He was so pampered and well trained that he didn't bite anyone or poop around the house. Every night we would let him out of his cage and let him wander around. Was funny seeing a tiny little thing scurrying around our living room floor while we watched tv haha.
He definitely grew in our hearts and died eventually due to old age. I remember my mom and i literally went to every vet because we couldn't stand to watch him suffer but none of them wanted to put him to sleep. Georgie got so weak until he couldn't clean his eyes so he couldn't open them (due to eye dirt making it shut). Mom would slowly clean them for him everyday and softly talk and comfort him. It was just so painful to watch.
He died after i came home from tuition one night. We cried so bad and buried him in our backyard in the dark.
And then there's Jagger. I just introduced him in my previous post and now he's gone :(
Jagger was having a serious case of diarrhoea and i made an appointment with the vet. But yesterday, he was so weak that whenever he tried to walk he'd just topple over. I tried pushing the appointment earlier but the vet said they were full so i prayed that he could just bear another 2 more hours.
Then i saw that he was now lying over and on the verge of dying. I just couldn't stand to see him that way so i got ready and just went over to the vet without changing my appointment. When they saw his condition (and my worried face lol), they attended to him but with bad news. His heartbeat was irregular and his temperature awfully low and even if they gave him fluids, the most he'd last would be another day. So i agreed when the vet said they should put him to sleep to end his sufferring. Just looking at him lying on the table made me cry so bad because there was nothing i could do to help him.
Its just been a couple of weeks since i'd had him but he was the reason i looked forward to coming home. Having him made staying at home a lot more comforting cause i was no longer alone. I'd always tickle and snuggle him and say bye when i was leaving. Its just so different now.
Jagger baby, i miss you so much and i hope you know how much i love you. You may have been in my life for only a short period of time but i've always loved you from the start. Rest in peace my little baby. Who knows, you might even meet Georgie up there.
I love you both. Always and forever.

P/s I know what people think. They're so small, why go through all that trouble? The thing is, they're just like having a dog or a cat, only smaller in size. The bond and love you share is just as much. And if you love animals just as much as i do, any loss is a massive heartbreak.
