R.I.P DAISEY THE BOY...A SHORT STORY.

2007-2009

yes.
we loved this little rodent.​.​.​daisey the boy.

after waffles died we ran straight out
to the pet shop for a new baby hamster 
in hopes to fill the void of her loss.

we saw the baby hamster.
we bought the baby hamster.
we took the baby hamster home.
he was tiny, afraid, and cute.

we then threw a bunch of names in a hat, 
gambling on what we should call it.

out came the paper.
"daisey" would be its new name.

after checking out a book on hamsters from our local library,
one of the kids discover that daisey is undoubtedly a boy.

thus.​.​.​.​"​daisey the boy."

he grew and developed somewhat of a personality.

he was always curious of the 'outside' world.​.​.​running to the bars
of his cage, grasping them and looking out at whomever would enter the laundry room.

he loved taking rides on whiskers back as well (our cat), and whiskers
took on a sweet kinship with him.

so now as he joins tico, waffles, and houdini in hamster heaven,
i can only ponder on how we can grow attached to something so small.
sometimes its the little things in life that really have an impact....
