gutted ive just said goobye to eric the hamster he has been ill for a little while, he started growing lumps all over the place, and the past few days hasnt been himself at all, today i went downstairs as usual made my daughters breakfast watched tv then got my little girl dressed i went out the room for 2 seconds when i returned i noticed eric was out of bed near his food pot and was wobbling side to side i got him out to give him a cuddle ,as i knew this was it for him, i had to go out for an hour and was kinda hoping he would slip away while i was out i came home put my daughter back to bed for a nap and went downstairs to see how eric was, he was just how i left him snuggled up in his bed for a split second i thought he had gone but he looked up at me so i lay on the sofa took him out of his bed and lay him on the cushion next to me we lay there for 20mins when suddenly eric flinched i hushed him and stroked him, but he flung himself back took three deep breathes then slipped away while i was still stroking him, i carried on stroking him for a further 20mins, before putting him in his favourite green ball and i buried him in that, near our apple tree, im now so grateful he waited for his mummy to come home before he went, he wasnt alone, i was expecting this for days i thought i was prepared but i so wasnt it sounds silly cryin over something so small, i'll miss you eric so much i just felt i needed to write this and share with you all, sorry it couldnt of been a better story
