The vet had to help Skittle to the Bridge tonight
He was an old man, we reckon born on or around Valentine's Day in 2014, so he was 2 years and 4 months old.
He's been going downhill steadily and the past few days in particular have been bad for the poor mite.
He's now at peace.
Both my daughter and I are in bits. He was a dear little thing, Niamh's first hamster. Never bit us once, made us laugh countless times with his antics and he will be sorely missed.
For such a small creature he will leave a gaping hole.
Scurry free little fella. RIP. You are pain free now, sleeping, which is what you were telling us you needed and although it was a hard decision, we listened and helped you.
We love you, Skittle, and will never forget you
(The vet gave Niamh a sympathy card with inked paw prints and a pack of forget-me-not seeds, which I thought a most kind and thoughtful gesture.)
