Sadly, after a short illness, our little fluffy friend has gone to Hamster Heaven....try telling that to a seven year old!!
My son was a little prepared as Rhino has been poorly for a week but today the vet put him to sleep...it turns out he had a tumour.
When I told LF that Rhino had died he stared at me, his little eyes filled with tears and we sat there together in silence. I asked him how he felt and he just said "I wish he didn't die"....
We had a chat and I think he is coping well...me on the other hand is an emotional wreck!!!! How can something so small have such a big impact??
Hopefully as the days pass LF's pain will lessen....the offer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DVD Box set is helping!!!!
We are off on our annual summer holiday soon....sun, sea, sand and sangria for me and sun, sea, sand and late nights for LF...Big D can choose his options!
When we return I think a trip to the pet shop will be high on our list of things to do...
PS If there is such thing as a Hamster Heaven I hope they know Rhino likes to sleep in his little blue box!
