Sergeant Pepper

My little hamster, Sergeant Pepper, died today. We just found him as we went in for our nightly visit. To say I'm really sad is an under-estimate. How does one express sorrow over the loss of a pet? He was such a good hamster, loving, friendly, funny, cute.

Sergeant Pepper as a baby, asleep in my lap:


Eating a chip, also in my lap:


Playing in his play-pen, still as a baby before his "boy parts" fully developed--I couldn't have photographed him in this pose afterward!



Playing on our bed:


You will be missed, little ham-turd! Rest in peace. Momma loves you.
