29/12/2017: Well.... I didn't write a blog yesterday because I was way too upset.  But here goes nothing... Will get to Tamas in a little bit. Yesterday when I got home from work, I came into my bedroom to see that Stanley, my hamster of 7 months had passed away. :( I honestly could not believe my eyes when I saw him laying there. I do believe he went very peacefully as his eyes were closed and he just looked so cozy tucked in the corner of the cage. I haven't cried that much in a long time..... Matthew took it really hard when I told him. I feel as though I failed my darling hamster.... I loved him so much.... I just wish we could have had longer together... I am trying to figure out if I can get him cremated or not... Dear God I miss him. :( I'll give a quick update on my Tamas: My clear black Mimitchi actually died just shortly after I wrote my last blog on the 26th. He was 22. That is Mimitchi's natural dying age... Now I still have my Mimitchi (yellow/blue Tama) and we will spend New Years together I believe. :) My two Ginjirotchi still remain as well at the age of 22. Pausing has definitely been my friend this week... After finding Stanley yesterday, I paused all 3 of my Tamas, and they remained on pause for most of the work day as well today. But I did unpause them all this evening and tried watching some new Christmas movie on Netflix. Wasn't our cup of tea so turned that off 1/4 way through and now I'm in bed writing this.  I am gonna cut this blog short because I am just too tired and sad to write anymore tonight, but maybe tomorrow I'll feel more like talking about it.... Luckily I have 3 days off work and don't have to go back until Tuesday... I'll get to spend New Years with my Tamas. :) I just wish Stanley could be here with us..... Wherever you are Stan, please know how much we all loved you. I'll never forget you... Back to main page
