What a great hamster
Who knew one could be a muse?
My sweet boy Ami
Ami came to live with me on February 14, 2006. He was the first hamster I ever had as a pet. I learned a lot from Ami and he inspired my creativity in ways I could never have predicted. My photography skills improved, I self-published my first book, Hamster Haiku, and I've made and sold various hamster related crafts. Ami made me happy with his simple, funny ways. And don't forget, he was a two-time hamster ball derby champion!
Ami died sometime in the early hours of September 21, 2008. He was simply old and his heart stopped. There appeared to be no trauma and no suffering. Lately, he had been sleeping more and slowing down, as is expected for an elderly hamster. I feel like I gave him a good life and he gave much more to me than he could ever know. His tiny paw prints definitely left a mark on my heart and I miss him terribly.
Actual hat. Not photoshopped!

Aw. Sad. He was a good little hamster.
~'Actual hat, not photoshopped.' is my new favorite phrase.
Good bye little, Ami.
I'm so sorry he's gone. He sounds like he was a very good pet.
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like Ami was a special little guy. *Hugs*
I'm sorry to hear about this. But it does sound like the two of you had a good time together.
Sorry to hear the bad news. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.
He was ADORABLE!! I'm so sorry.
I had a dream recently where both our hamsters were talking to each other about us.
Ami had nothing but stunning things to say about you. Ophelia called me an ass-hat...
Oh, Jodi, I am so so sorry. Sending love your way from Barry and me.
I am so sorry, Jodi. He was absolutely adorable and very photogenic :0) It was obvious he was very loved. Take care.
P.S. Gabby sends hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh J, am so sorry....what a beam of fuzzy love for the Kurland home he has been....

Goodbye dear Ami.
I am sorry that I had to hunt up this past post to find out the details on the demise of Ami. I first found out about it when I read about Penny. I am so sorry, and, late as it is, I send hugs and condolences your way. You were the best companion a hamster ever had.
