Meet Caramel
To replace cream we bought Caramel. He’s a lovely little thing and quite a saving on power since we put a generator on the wheel 😉
R.I.P. Cream
Today our “old man” hamster passed away in his sleep. He was lively up to the end, despite being 2½ years old. Longest lived hamster we’ve had so far.
R.I.P. Snowy.

R.I.P. Toffee.
Almost 2 years old and with completely knackered eyes being the symptom of something more serious, Toffee, was put to rest last Monday. Although it’s always sad to lose a pet, he was a good age for a hamster.
R.I.P. Auntie Barbara
Last Friday, after a short stay in hospital, my auntie passed away in her sleep, aged 82. A warm hearted person, she’ll be missed 🙁 Funeral arrangements still forthcoming. I’ll update when finalised.

R.I.P. Misty
Yesterday she seemed fine, last night I found out about “fly strike”, this morning I buried her. I’ve never seen anything so swift and horrible. No more rabbits, they can die in too many ways 🙁
Meet Tigger
Last weekend we had a new arrival. Here is Tigger, the mad ginger kitteh. I wonder if he’ll make it to icanhascheezburger before he calms down 😉
