(This is my first soapbox i ever wrote) This one is for anyone who has ever Lost a pet... On April 3,2006 I got a Black bär Hamster. I couldnt figure out what to name her. So I thought and thought and came up with the name Taffy. She was so small Du could hold her in the palm of a little child's hand. All black and furry with a little white stripe on her tummy. As I brought her home, days passed and she got bigger and bigger. And all of a sudden she started making this noise that I thought were her sneezing but they started getting worse and worse until she barley starting running on her...

So far after having 15 hamsters over the course of 8 years only two have died from an illness.

First i noticed she couldn't open her mouth very well and she could barely eat. I made an appointment with Eastwood vet. clinic in Rutland, Vermont. Dr. Bruce looked at her and found she had an abcess in her mouth. He squeezed it and puss came out. Then he gave her two shots, clipped her teeth and sent me Home with antabiodicts. She fought for her life for almost two weeks after that. Finally she died.
