My dear Pandabear "Jujubear" Jr. passed away today. He had been sick the other week with the flu & then diarrhea but with patience & medication he got well another week after.
Then this morning, I found him in his cottage asleep forever. But oh, he looked so peaceful - as if he just slept & never woke up. I have had several hamsters who died of old age or illness over the years & yet, each time one of them goes, I can’t help but sigh deeply after a loss. I would miss Jujubear terribly but, in my heart, I know he had died free of pain & illness.
He did look as if he was just asleep with his paws neatly tucked together & his eyes closed comfortably. I guess he was old already but I just didn’t know it because to me, he had always been the cute little hamster pup I had cared for & "coochi-cooed" over for more than 2 years. Goodbye Jujubear, good night, I know that now you’re in the rolling fields & meadows where the giant sunflower seeds grow.

I’m sorry for your loss, Ying.
My hammies just turned two years old this month.. They still look healthy today, but I fear for their “time” to come… and it might be soon. Iniisip ko pa lang naiiyak na ko.. Waah.

Aww - I am so sorry about the loss of your beloved hammie. (hugs) It’s never easy to lose a pet. In fact, psychiatrists say losing a pet is harder than losing a loved person because a pet gives its love unconditionally. I hope you’re doing okay, sweetie.

I’m really sorry, Aileen.
I feel your pain, our dog Sooty only died recently of a heat stroke, it was quite devastating on my family.
From what you’ve mentioned, Jujubear died very peacefully. He’s in a much better place now. =)
