Today my children lost a bit of that innocence they have had. This evening at 8pm we buried their pet hamster, S'more. He had been ill for a while now, and slowly declining, so we had been expecting him to die. This morning he appeared to be doing a bit better; however, that was just his honeymoon health before he passed this evening. Now I have a little grave in the back yard, and Lydia crying in my ear and refusing to believe that he has indeed passed into the big hamster wheel in the sky. He was our pet for a little over a year before his passing, and while he wasn't the easiest to get along with (he had a habit of biting the girls if they messed with him too much) he was loved by all 4 girls and they will miss him.
Until we get a rabbit that is........ stay tuned for that blog post coming in the next couple months.
