Dear 老公公, aka Frisky, died peacefully in his sleep today. He was already so old that he couldn't walk properly, couldn't hold things in his paws properly, and was going blind. So I'm glad that he left without further suffering. He has brought the family so much joy that it would be selfish of us to ask for any more.
With that, the house is once again silent. The rattling of the hamster wheel will no longer filter into our dreams at night. No longer will we gather at the cage to admire the hamsters' new sleeping poses. In memory of all my dear hamsters, I'm posting a family photo.
