Sorry I havent been posting, but my health hasnt been that good. This morning at around 4am my little hamster Radar passed away. We took him to the vet a month ago because of 2 lumps on his back and a sore on his tummy that wouldnt heal. The doc gave antibiotics for him to take for 2 weeks. She said if the meds didnt help that clear up it might be cancer. He was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. He took his meds like a good boy for 2 weeks with no improvement, but he wasnt acting sick at all. The past few days he took a turn for the worst and we were discussing taking him to be put to sleep. But God took him in his sleep instead. RIP my handsome little Radar. I will miss u so much. P.S. The photo of Radar that I posted is of him sleeping a few months ago. He looks so cozy. Attachments:

Awwww. So cute. Remember the good times. We have all been there with you, so we do know how you feel. Condolences. Bury him deep and well. And take care of yourself. As you know, I have my own problems.

Rest peacefully, Radar and Little Bear. Glad that Radar passed peacefully and you avoided the PTS stress. I was so glad that my Ethel slipped away as she did at Christmastime, nestled in her igloo. lyn, I wish you well with your health issues. I know only too well how consuming they can be. Take care.
