I was holding my daughters new hamster. I handle them to help acclimate them to our big hands besides the fact that I find these little creatures pretty cute. Mice and rats give me the creeps but I love hamsters and gerbils. So, I was holding him just talking to him about Natalie. Telling him he will be loved and so well cared for by her. Then I just cried. I miss her little cotton ball. I use to get him out at night and hold him. Many times he would sleep on my chest all sprawled out while I was reading. Mind you this little thing filled the palm of a 7 yr olds hand. He was tiny, I couldn't even feel him when he was on me. I had to tell myself constantly he was sleeping on me and don't forget. I'd pet him with a finger while he slept on me. He was that relaxed with me. He did these with her too, probably more so.

I'm really gonna miss our quiet evenings, I really looked forward to holding him and not having a little girl come and gently grab him up to hold for herself. She even made him a swing out of an old pair of her underware. He'd fall asleep in them while she had them hung on something and gently pushed him into a rocking motion. He was such a unique hamster. I hope she finds satisfaction in her new one. I worry she won't.
