Hello Crafty Friends!

Sad news today, my dear little buddy Rudy passed away today.  I know dwarf hamsters have a short life span 1 to 2 years.  But, I didn’t really expect my little Rudykins to pass so suddenly.

Last night around 11:30p before I went to bed, I saw him and he was his normal self.  He was running around and playing in his little exercise wheel. But then this morning around 9am, I found him laying outside his little tikki house. I called his name and he didn’t move. I knew instantly something was wrong. He couldn’t walk, the only movement he made was wiggle around.  I held him and wrapped him in his little blanket.  Through out the time I knew he wasn’t going to make it.  I cried and told him it was ok to go God and with all the little angels.  After 20 minutes, he was gone.

I’ll always remember the special moments of my little Rudykins.  Usually before I go to bed I take him out to pet him and give him little good night kisses and give him a small treat.  He was the sweetest little thing ever. He loved playing, and climbing up my arm and hang out on my shoulder.  Even my 2 dogs and cat got used to him while I put him in his purple ball and he be rolling around in the living room.

Yeah, I’m going to miss the little fellow so much. Never did he once bite me. He was such a sweet, sweet little hamster.  I made a special scrapbook page layout in dedication to him.  Rest In Peace my little friend, I’m sure going to miss you so much!
