Jan and I have had 6 hamsters since we got together in 2001. As I grew up with animals, I really
wanted a hamster, and Jan (reluctantly) agreed to get one. Well, needless to say, once we had one,
we had another, and another, and so on, and Jan loved them just as much as me.
Champers, Napalm, Viper, Kuffs, Rusty and Babe (or Digger) - I wish God gave you longer lives, it
seems so wrong that you only get a few years. You were all special, and we miss you so much. Sadly,
you're buried in our old garden, so we can't visit you, but I hope you are at rest and happy
wherever you are.
Champers - well, what can I say. You were my special baby, and the way you died still haunts me to
this day. You used to sit in my hand and licked my palm, you were such a sweetie. I remember you and
Napalm were fighting for Kuffs attention - of course you were all in seperate cages, but the noises
you and Napalm made, calling out! And the time you got out and I found you under the wardrobe, with
a scratch on your nose - I knew you had gone sniffing at Napalms cage and he had had a go! Love you
poppet. xxx
Napalm - mischievious little fella, we weren't sure if or when you were going to bite! Most of the
time you were good, and then, just when we weren't expecting it, along came the nip! I took you to
the vet when that cyst started growing under your chin, he said there was nothing we could do - it
may be cancerous, it may not, but you didn't seem to be bothered by it, and you were a good age, so
he said to let you live out your days. It kept growing, and eventually you grew tired and we had to
let you go. xxx
Viper - I don't know why Jan chose that name for you as you were the calmest, most placid little
hamster, a ball of fur. You were the first to figure out how to open the plastic fastner to your
cage, we had to start selotaping it down cos once you learnt how to do it, you couldn't stop! Jan
misses you so much too, he loved holding you in the palm of his hand while walking to the treat
cupboard and giving you one of your choccies. Big kisses sweetie. xxx
Kuffs - Our first girl hamster, all black with little white cuffs! The time you were in your ball,
rolling around the flat, and I was in the bathroom, cleaning. I happened to glance out in the
hallway, and saw a little black thing running past the door - it was you! You were lovely, a proper
little character, and I'm sorry for the way you passed too. Your skin condition was caused by old
age, I know, but it was horrible to watch you go through that darlin. Rest peacefully now. xxx
Rusty - Our last hamster, wow, you were amazing! The one time you did escape you did it in style! I
still remember coming to the landing in the morning and seeing some chewed carpet, and called to
Jan, wondering if we had rats! Then, I went to your cage, and saw the door open (yes that was me
from holding you the night before, I forgot to shut it!) - I checked, and you weren't there! I
panicked, there weren't many places for you to hide on the landing, but you must have jumped or
fallen from quite a height as your cage was sitting on some shelves. We had a big black binbag at
the top of the stairs, and I heard a little rustle. I called Jan, and gently we moved the rubbish
out of the bag, I was scared cos there were tin cans and sharp lids in there, but you were sitting
at the bottom of the bag and looked up at us, like butter wouldn't melt! You were a good age, and
when it was your time to go, you were such a fighter, 3 weeks went by with you tottering about, but
I had to go to Ireland. You were the only hamster that I wasn't with when you died, and I still
can't forgive myself for that. Miss you so much. xxx
Babe AKA Digger - our baby. Beautiful looks, but unfortunately I think you had a few neuro problems.
You would not stop running round in circles, and your food bowl was your favourite thing to run
around - all day. Sounds cute, but we knew there was something wrong, the only time you stopped was
to get some water or food, we tried to get you out of the cage as much as possible to stop you doing
it, but you still did. You were a year old when you died, you had a stroke and were paralysed, I got
lots of soft food and nursed you through it, you were ok! When you were back on your feet again, you
started doing the circles thing again, and this time, suffered a fatal stroke. Rest in peace baby.

♥♥♥♥♥ Beyond the Rainbow ♥♥♥♥♥
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

To See You Once Again
Josette Kerns
I wish with all my heart I could see you once more,
I would use that moment and time to tell you how
Much love my heart holds for you and I shall never
Close that door.
Life each and every day with out you keeps going on
Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being
Selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once
More I so very much long.
I try to remember all the loving and happy times we
Were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand
And not cry but to see you once more even only for a
moment to let you know just how very much I do care.
I know that day will eventually come when its my turn
To this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold
your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break
Down and cry, and I will still ask the question why did you
have to die?
Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were our brief rainbow.
You entered our life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love (ad infinitum)...
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable
Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful we are that we had you,
Our brief rainbow.

Littlest Angel of Mine
(by Terri Onorato)
I was adrift on waves of feelings
swirling circles about my mind
wondering if I had the strength
to decide it was your time.
Did I have the right to make this choice
that would change our lives forever,
did I have the will to sacrifice
our precious time together?
Was I wrong in thinking of myself
while you grew so frail and weak,
was I selfish in my desperate need
to have you here with me to keep?
Into your bright green eyes I searched
and found within your soul,
the echo of a far-seen wisdom
the kind which only angels know.
You gently rocked my broken heart
and with angelic calm
you lifted all the guilt I felt
for wanting to hold on.
You showed me that the choice with which
I felt so wrecked and torn
lay upon a path God paved
the day that you were born.
Somehow you made me understand
the choice was never mine,
it had been appointed long before,
in another place and time.
So as I lay you down to sleep
your eternal spirit shines
and our paths will cross again someday
littlest angel of mine.
Miss you so so much little ones
♥ HEARTSTRINGS ♥
When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond our tears and all the world's wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand.
Author Unknown
So go and run free
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.
