In a conversation with my brother last night:

Me: dude, what happened toHammie? Him: hammie ran on his wheel toward the light

So apparently mybrother’s hamster died. I wanted to share with you his touching memorial:

Itis my regret to inform all of you of the passing of my dear lil friend, Hammie. Hammiewill no longer be confined to cage alone, but rather frolic freely with all of hisother furry lil friends. - May u run in the wheels of heaven, and recline amidst thecedar chips of the ever graceful God. R. I. P. March 25, 2003 (u wont be forgotten)

Andhe also adapted this classic BarryManilow song to honor Hammie:

Morning, just another day, Happy furryfriends pass away, Looking in their eyes, I see a memory, I never realized, how happyyou made me oh Hammie Well you came and you gave without taking, but I sent you away,oh Hammie, well you bit me and made me start shaking but, I need you today, oh Hammie

AlthoughI never actually saw hammie other than his nose sticking out of his hut, I’m surehe was very nice. Rest in peace hammie, sorry for your loss bro.
