Got a new hamster after my previous one passed away from old age. His name is Ziggy (after Ziggy Stardust) and he is a baby Russian Dwarf Hamster. I can't get a pic, he keeps burrowing every time I try. lol.

I haven't mentioned it yet but my dog Sloane was put to sleep recently. I miss her but I try to not think about it, she was very quiet and inactive near during her end days which was unusual for her.
Also, we're giving Ferris to my aunt and uncle, because he seems really unhappy at our new home. He just doesn't seem to care about anything... he literally bumps into sh*t for no reason.

So our home will soon be completely dogless.
Sorry to hear that Swan. I know what you're going through, my cat that I had for 16 years just died last month, and just earlier last year I was present when my sister's dog (who I pet-sitted a lot) got hit by a car and I was present when she was put down, she was only 11 months.
Having pets can be a very depressing and painful thing, but also very rewarding. Just remember that the years of good far outweigh the moments of bad.
