We had a bad weekend. Friday it was discovered that Ben the Hamster (Habenero, officially) had gone to that Great Hamster Wheel in the Sky. It has been a very emotional weekend here as a result.
Interment took place in the backyard under a pine tree out in the "Back 40". The Boy, in particular, was instrumental in the final arrangements.
Unlike certain other people who shall remain nameless we don't leave our dearly departed in a brown paper lunch bag in the Arizona sun for the pool installers to trample. We do things differently in Pennsylvania. Just sayin'...

Let the record show it was a cardboard casket, and a white plastic bag, not a brown paper bag :) We dug as deep as we could,but with buried cement ooze from the foundation, it might not have been enough. We even used the pick axe so we really did try.
At least Ben the Hamster had a friend to play with on the Big Hamster wheel in the sky.
I have baby hammies to find homes for from EP's classroom, I could put one in the mail to you today???
