Unhappy Mayflower's Hamster Died
Our hamster Maria, who was named after Cheri’s hamster, died of cancer yesterday. She was only about a year old. Hamsters typically live about three years, so she was less than thirty in hamster years. Mayflower is kind of sad about the whole thing. We’re going to have a private ceremony in the backyard as soon as we both have a day off. Right now she’s in the freezer, wrapped in plastic.

She was kind of ornery (she was quick to bite if you pissed her off) but she was a cute little thing. She was a black bear hamster, which is a dark-colored breed of Syrian hamster. I actually don’t like hamsters that much (I’m a chinchilla person myself), but in my opinion the black bear is the cutest of all the hamster breeds.

She went really fast. It was kind of strange. The tumors just kept growing and growing and growing until she was waddling around like a furry little Jabba the Hutt. But it didn’t seem to bother her much—she didn’t seem to be suffering at all. Then about three days ago, she suddenly became weak and lethargic. We tried to euthanize her by feeding her hummus laced with 30 milligrams of phenobarbital, but it didn’t faze her one bit. I’m guessing that the tumor metabolized all the barbiturate. Then she just suddenly started shrinking. In just two days she became nothing more than a fur-covered skeleton with huge tumors growing out of her sides. So we kept her warm and let her die in peace. Yesterday morning she was barely breathing, and when we got home from work she was gone. So we wrapped her up, and we’ll bury her soon next to my guinea pig Tribble.

why you didn't take her to the vet and get her tumor out???

why you let her suffer like that, why you didn't put her to sleep or something?

To be perfectly honest about it, we weren’t willing to spend hundreds of dollars for an operation on a hamster. It was Mayflower’s pet and she was fond of it, but the simple fact is that it was just a hamster. And as I already indicated, we attempted to euthanize her ourselves, but failed. We knew that it would cost $45 to have her put to sleep, because I had already called the vet and inquired about it. When the phenobarb didn’t work, we agreed that we would take her to the vet if it appeared that she was suffering. But she seemed fine up until a couple of days ago, and then she went downhill fast and quickly slipped away. I really already made all this very clear. I still cannot comprehend how you completed two undergraduate degrees.

Can’t you read? We were willing to spend the money to have her euthanized. If she hadn’t died when she did, I most likely would have taken her in this afternoon. But she went from being a very active hamster to being a very DEAD hamster in an extremely short period of time—less than three days. Three days ago, she was still eating, building nests, and waddling up and down her little ramp. SHE WAS NOT IN PAIN. She basically just crashed and died all of a sudden. As soon as she stopped eating and became lethargic, we knew it was time and we tried to OD her on barbiturates. IT DIDN’T WORK. We would have taken her to the vet if she hadn’t died of her own accord. We did everything we could to make her comfortable in her last few hours. We built her a nest, and we kept her warm and quiet. What more do you want? She wasn’t Catholic, so we didn’t see the need for last rites. What should we have done—call the Make-A-Wish Foundation?

Now stop trolling in poor little Maria’s obit thread or I’ll start a collection to have YOU put to sleep.
