Hello,
Hitchcock is gone. I knew he was getting old, he looked old, he wasnt quite as vicious anymore, he didnt escape even when the cage was open, he moved slower...but I still wasnt expecting it. I opened his cage this morning & he didnt move, he always moves...I touched him...he was cold & stiff...he died sometime between last night & this morning. Its sooo sad...I cant believe I lost my sweet little curmudgeon. We loved him soo much, even though we couldnt touch him. He had style, he was evil, he had beady little eyes & you knew he would kill you in your sleep if he could. He was my first hamster ever. He will always be special for that reason. We bought him because at the store he bit me. He had attitude. We knew that no one else would buy a vicious hamster, so we took him home. We didnt want him to live his whole life in a pet store. We loved him & I think that he loved us too. We took good care of him. He even tried to attack the cats! He had spunk, he had balls. He was the best. He will be missed. It seems that my menagerie just keeps getting smaller. Goodbye Hitchcock, you were loved & you will be missed.
