Dove
One of our dwarf hamsters died today. It’s very sad. Joy and I both miss her very much — Joy especially — because she was Joy’s favorite hamster.
I am really going to miss her walk, and the way she’d always, always hang her back legs off your hand when you pick her up. I’ll also miss how easy going she was, and how she’d always be easy to find and quick to find Iris when Iris runs off and hides.
I’ll miss her water habit, because it was cute and it was fun to say she was all water weight. Also, I have a thing for drinking water all the time too, so I felt like she was kinda like me in that regard.
I’ll really, really miss how much Joy loved her. I’ll miss Joy’s reactions especially. When Joy would look for her and try to wake her up she’d always have to look in all the toilet paper and paper towel rolls, because Dove would love to sleep in them. Also, Joy would get really excited when Dove would sleep with the twins, and all three of them would be together. I’ll also miss hearing Joy call her ‘Chubber,’ ‘Chubb-Chubb’ and ‘Chubbs’ as terms of endearment.
It was really great getting to know Dove though. So, I decided that, even though it hurts to suffer a loss, it shouldn’t deter me from openning myself up to other pets.
I hope that the twins and Skipper live ’til the end of Joy’s college years like they are supposed to, but I guess we’ll just have to see how things turn out.
We miss you Chubber!
