R.I.P. Charlie the Hamster

Welcome back all! Well, our week began in tragedy. Our belove hamster, Charlie, passed away after two very long years! She was a good little hamster, living a quiet little life on the counter in the bathroom, where no one really enjoyed her presence and she stunk up the room. But she was happy. And the couple of times per week that the kids took a brief interest in her and stood long enough to pound on her cage and poke things in at her will be a lasting, loving memory for them both. Kam took her passing especially hard. You'd of thought that they were inseparable friends the way she sobbed over the news. Burial services were held on Monday evening, under a big cedar tree in the back yard. Kamryn and Owen officiated, and then placed flowers on the grave. Very sweet.
Kam insisted on calling everyone to share the news. Her conversation with her Nana had me fighting back tears (of laughter).

Kam: Know what Nana, Charlie died.
Nana: Oh Kamryn, I'm sorry you lost your hamster.
Kam: Oh no Nana, she's not lost, She's in a box down in a hole under the tree in the backyard. We didn't lose her, she just died because her heart stopped beeping.

I wanted to thank you all for your support. Two of my three siblings have already tried to pawn pets off on us to fill the void. So sweet! On a side note... our family will NEVER own a cat (nice try Lindz), but we may be welcoming a new member to the family soon, possibly a BEAUTIFUL Lab named Bear. (We're strongly considering it B!)

Anyhow, It's been nice catching up, hope everyone else has a chance to do the same! Love you all!

    Wouldn't that be sweet if we could just pass pets around the family! Ok, so who is taking Otis? Hes mostly dead, so it will would be a relitivly short term commitment. 2 years max! :) We NEVER thought we would be moving him back to Goldsboro again. We had to pay a $250 pet deposit to have him in the new place, but i told Daniel If he kicks the bucket before we move in we are asking for a refund!

    To steal a line from my Hubby- It sounds like it might be time to take Otis for a "ride" in the woods. Or you could just say you saw a REALLY BIG hawk flying around before he disappeared, that lines been known to work before when a pet was too old to move. Maybe I should stop now, before Brannon changes his mind about letting us take Bear!
