Teddy Orlando by Joanna

Teddy Orlando may have been “just a hamster” to folks we knew but to our family he was a precious little fellow brown and white with sparkling black eyes. He came to live with us when he was 5 weeks old and died at the age of 2 years and four months. The vet said we had taken good care of him but at the end he had suffered a stroke and was not eating or drinking and could barely walk. We all loved him too much to see him suffer in such a way but it was still hard to let him go. He was and will always remain a precious part of our family a friend to our three children and a delightful little guy who we grew to love…and miss…very dearly.

Our baby Teddy.
