well socks(my dwarf hamster) is 2 years old now..and i have to keep an eye on him..cuz he might die any moment..he has a tumor, grayish white, adn loosing hair....so yea..and i have to check him everyday..well i was over at my g.parents house and my mom called saying she thougth socks was dead so i run down there adn sadly she is right..and just the few days before i told mom i should have taken pics. in case he dies soon but my stepdad just protested on the pictures for a rodent thing..so we think he died this morning cuz when i poked him(w/my hand stupidly) he was hard so i figured rigamortis had done set in..soooooooo i scooped him up in a ziplock baggie, put him in a box w/his fav. blankey(rag) and taped it up tight so no bugs can get him. well all i got to do now is wait till angel(stepdad) digs a hole for him..-_- me so sad..i thought i wouldn't cry cuz i didn't really care for him cuz i knew he'd die soon..cuz on average the aveage hamster only lives to be 2..but he was curled up sleeping with his eyes cracked..so i couldnt' help myself..so my hamster offically died November 18, 2005 adn i got him October 1, 2003... so i dedicate this to my preciously cute dwarf hamster....
