Hammy the Hamster

One Saturday morning I woke to find the kids beloved hamster had bit the dust.

We were expecting this because we had the little guy for almost three years and thats about how long hamsters live.

The kids were devastated so we decided to have a memorial service and bury the hamster in Grandma's backyard...the place where most of my "pets" as a kid have been laid to rest.




Saying a few words..



Hammy's grave... 





Filling up the hole...




Grandpa stood watch to make sure this was a proper burial...


Even Tanner was in attendance...



Afterwards we decided to lighten the mood with a bit of sprinkler fun...






...And just in case you are wondering, we did get a new hamster. Her name is Sammy.
