No more Hamster Hide and Seek.

[Catherine]

I have Robin siting on my lap trying to eat a piece of apple. He is barely holding on. He has been so much fun and he has packed so much living into his short life. He is just short of his second birthday and for a dwarfie that is old.

He is one of the last hamsters from a long line of dwarfies. I bred them from 2000-2011 for a small family owned pet store. When they closed in 2011, I stopped putting new couples together so the dwarfie colony has gradually died out. Now I have Robin and his older brother and soon I will only have the older brother. It is the end of an interesting time in my life. I am no longer the hamster lady. It is funny how one of my last hamsters has been one of my most memorable. No one beats Peter the Wonder Hamster, but Robin comes close.
I am glad that I can be here for him. I am going to miss my little Robin.
