Hamster

I have had hamsters in the past but none like Cuddles.

About a year or so after my hamster had died I decided that I

wanted another one. I went to the store and I immediately knew which

one I wanted. She was so cute and was only a baby.

I brought her home with me. The first couple of days she was not quite

used to my house so she bit me 1 time so I thought she didn’t like me.

But after awhile she got used to me and never bit me again.

After thinking hard I named her Cuddles.

She was so cute and well you could just cuddle her.

We grew so attached to each other. I made her a home made

maze out of cardboard. She loved it and learned how to get through it.

I bought her a ball to roll in a cage and many treats and toys.

I gave her everything. I loved her soo much.

I played with her all the time. I would sit in school and just wait to

get home to play with her. Since my parents are divorced

I would go to my dad’s house on the weekends and my mom

would feed Cuddles while I was gone for 2 days.

I would talk to her and tell her all my problems.

Then soon I started to realize that she was getting very old and

could not move as fast or as much. I tried to ignore it but I knew that

her time was not far off. Soon she could not move far from her spot

where she laid. She would only move to drink and eat.

I went to my dad’s house for the weekend and when I got home

I went to say hi to her and she had passed away.

My heart started beating very fast and I broke into tears.

I had lost my best friend. She was everything to me.

I know some people are like its just a hamster but she was

so much more.

After I calmed down I buried her.

I loved (still love) her soo much and I will never forget the

times that we had. She lived for 3 years which is a long time for a hamster.

So I know I took good care of her and that she had a good life.

I love her soo much.

I miss her.

She will always be in my heart.
