Some of you might already know that Imp and I live with 2 birds and a
furry animal called a hamster.  We look at them quite often, but most
of the time the humans yell at us and squirt us with water.

I remember one time, when my human wasn't looking, I jumped up on the
desk to get a better look at this hamster.  The humans named him
Fuzzy.  I thought it was very odd that this hamster would want to run
on this wheel.  What fun is that?  You're not going anywhere.  I was
contemplating how to get the cage open when my human yelled at me.

Anyways, today when the human looked in on the hamster, she let out a
small cry.  She reached in and pulled out the hamster.  She did that
once before and I got a closer look at this weird creature.  But this
time when I came over to investigate, the hamster wasn't moving.

My human let out a long sigh and let me and Imp sniff him and say
goodbye.  It's a shame, I really wanted the human to let him out so I
could play Hide and Seek with him.  His cage is gone too.  Even though
he just sat in his cage, I shall miss him.

Mischief

I got Fuzzy the hamster in spring 2002, and since a hamster's life
span is only 2-3 years, I think his time had come.  I looked in on him
yesterday and he was running on his wheel, and burrowing around like
always.  But I think he died in his sleep.  I'd like to get another
one, but since I have Mischief and Imp I don't think that would be a
good idea.
