I am afraid I got some sad news. Nick told me that mommy is not ill anymore and that she has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
I got confused. This is where my father lives. So mommy will be together with Monty, my daddy! She will be happy because she was missing him so much. And there is a huuuuge hamster wheel there. So I asked them, why is it sad news? Nick hesitated a bit, and then said it's sad news because I will not see them for some time.
Which got me thinking... and I asked when will I see them when? This was hard for them to answer, so after a bit of thinking, they said that, according to statistics, I would meet them in 18 months. Or 2 years at best. Hmmm, strange.
Nick told me to write a few things about Maza, as a goodbye speech, so here it is.
Maza, my mother was a white haired syrian hamster that liked to eat a lot. She wasn't very active, and rarely used her hamster wheel, but loved playing in her hamsterball. She was quiet and liked making a huge nest from tissue paper. She also liked making a huge stockpile of food, seeds, corn, peanuts. But what she loved more (besides Monty) was her peanuts. She would crunch the peanut's shell for hours and that made her happy. Then she would store the peanuts and never eat them. She only bite them just for the taste. Nick rarely let her out of her cage unsupervised like they did with me (Joshua) and my father (Monty) because she would chew all the cables! She had twelve beautiful baby hamster with Monty, and one of those babies grew up to be ME! Maza was loved by everyone who met her.
Anyway, I am not that sad about mommy. I am going to miss not seeing her but she will be happy there. I am just going to miss her. On the other hand, I just inherited a furnished 2-floor house with a hamster-wheel too.
Bye mommy! Me, Nick and all your human friends will miss you lots!
Your baby hamster, Joshua.
Your baby hamster, Joshua.
