aw im sorry to hear about the little hamster bernie ...
i once had a hamster when i was little, jarvis was his name, lovely little thing, a teddy bear sort, all big and fluffy..
thought the world of him i did, played and cared for him every single day ... he was my mate ..
anyway, one cold and wintery night, i was sitting there, fondly watching him tanking round on his wheel, showing off, going like the clappers...
when all of a sudden, a heart attack struck..!
literally, it flung him into a backwards flip, landing stiff, on his back, in his little cushioned blue sandwich box of a bed! ..
we instantly tried to revive him by rubbing his poor lifeless chest..
but ... sadly, it was no good, poor ol jarvis had left us! ..
tut .. i was only 10 ... i cried for days....
we laid him to rest and had a quiet little buriel service in the back garden the next day, just family it was, we didnt want a big affair...
RIP jarvis, god bless,
and may you look after bernies wifes hamster, up in the big hamster cage in the sky .... ;o/
someone, pass me a tissue can you please ... snifff .....
