Goodbye mini p

2:24am GMT+7 (Sorry for my illogical sentences that don't fit as im not in the mood to bother about it.)

My hamster mini-p died yesterday (Tue) morning probably around 5-6am. This post is dedicated in memory of her.

She came into our household in the evening of early Dec 2004 as a 2 month old baby. Unlike my previous encounter with hamsters, minip's personality was surprising by hamster standards. She love to be cuddled and enjoyed human company, often lying upside down as if inviting us to give her a little scratch on her tummy which she so enjoyed.

By Mid-2006, minip started developing complications to her health and soon went blind and deaf. But her determination and will to live was strong and she carried on living like any healthy hamster.

But her condition worsen and 2 months later on a monday night August 28, she developed breathing difficulties and was obviously suffering. I tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible and told her to try to sleep, i had to go away for a few hours as i could not bear to see her suffer in pain.

In the middle of the night i woke up and checked on her again, she was alright and was taking food and water. I felt something was wrong and that she couldn't have recovered so quickly.

My worst fears came true, and she passed away early on tuesday morning.


Your life was short lived but meaningful, determined to lived on despite taken ill. To my best friend, wherever you are, I know your sufferings are over, and you are happy.
