I know about that impulse to feed a recently-departed pet. I used to automatically scrape the dinner leftovers for Ginger, and now there's no one to gobble them.

That caged-rodent scent though---ugh---I had a little white mouse when I was in 5th grade, named Cookie, and she/he SURE did stink. Incredible that a creature that small could generate such a powerful aroma.

Anyway, Hammie II had a good life, I feel sure. Question though, for your science peeps on this blog: do hamsters even exist in the wild? If so, where? And what do feral ones use for an exercise wheelie?

What a delightful poem for our poor dead hammie. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get it published in a Poems about Hamsters anthology so hammie's legacy would continue. Maybe I should self-publish -- I'm sure there's a market about there for hammie lit. :)

Dulce et decorum est,
Little Hammie, take your rest.
May Heav'n's cage be your delight
Now that you've gone nighty-night.

RIP Hamme II.You'll never walk alone.
