Rest in Peace my little Daisy



I posted this blog a few days ago thinking my hamster passed away. Well, it turns out that she was so ill she appeared to be dead. Normally a sick hamster passes very quickly. Not little Daisy....she is a fighter. For three days we watched her as she hung on to life. Gasping for breath every 30 seconds. Finally, this morning, I felt I needed to stop her suffering. We took her to the vet and had her put to sleep. Jason went it with her, as I felt it would be too hard for me. I feel so bad. When ever an animal dies, I always feel like I could have done something more to prolong their little life. But now she is in hamster heaven as a little angel :) I will always remember her nickname the pet store gave her when I bought her. they called her "Martha Stewart" because she was so particular about how her cage looked. Everything had to be in the proper place. I also remember when I introduced Daisy to my bunny. Daisy bit Lily on the nose. The bunny never did like the hamster, lol.
RIP my little fur ball. I will miss you Daisy!!!!!

Oh sweet girl I'm so sorry!! There's nothing like losing a pet, it's something only a fellow pet owner would understand. Are you ok??

NOOOOO! I'm so sorry. Poor little guy. I know exactly how you feel. especially when you take care of the little guy for so long and hope for the best. You made the right choice.

RIP Daisy. We have had bad luck with keeping pets alive. Well, we've only had fish, but I'm scared to advance any higher because of our bad record. So be proud and stand tall that Daisy lasted a long time with you.
