Rest In Peace

Theodore

26 December 2007 – 21 September 2009

I don’t know when his actual birthday was. But I know that on the 26 of December 2007, he joined my heart. Theodore and his partner Kukis, were an impulse buy. After watching Alvin and chipmunks.The day after Christmas.  Thus you can see why he’s brown and thus we name this feisty darling Theodore. He was a real wuss i tell you! He’d be scared when we came too near, so he’d bite us. Or he’d smell our fingers and jump a step back. If we touched him against his will, he’d start squeaking. He wasn’t really a hamster. He was the world’s greatest PIG! Every time we put food for him, he'd climb into the bowl, neither in or out an start to stuff his face.He had two liters of hamsters just because he couldn’t control himself. We had to separate both of them for good after that.

Stuffing his face.

The liter Kukis gave birth too. IT was Theodore's too anyway.

But everyone and everything has its lifespan. They have their calling. And today Theodore’s calling came. As i lifted his frail body into a shoe box and kept him on my lap, i just didn't want to believe that these may be his last breaths. But i knew it and my sister knew it. We watched our little angel gasp for air without moving. And then watched him  stretch his legs to his face for the last time and back down, and he took one last gasp of air. And that’s how we knew, our little feisty, adorable, cute and lovable angel Theodore was no more.

Love you always and hope you’re in a place where hamsters ran free, and had loads of food to stuff their face with and could mate endlessly.
