Oh my goodness! What a tale of a very loved and a very special hamster I never thought I would find myself saying this but it seems that we don't always get to play God, sometimes...God does. I believe he was there for you in many ways ninz1 And Zorro will forever be remembered by his own plant in his name x Thank you samwiseg for your lovely post and your kind words. If you don't mind me asking, would you be able to elaborate what you mean when you wrote 'I believe he was there for you in many ways'. I am just curious By the way you don't have to answer this at all.

Not at all ninz1Its just that I must explain I am not a devout Christian as such, but I do believe there is something and if calling it "god" helps anyone identify it then that is fine So to explain my post: I believe that God heard you and responded to you in many ways via others - whether they be people and even a Hydrangea! Ziyad was there to comfort you and assist you with your best wishes for Zorro before and after, your mum was there to help you understand that not everyone is blessed with the gift of unconditional love for all life such as nature & animals and God took care of Zorro personally to save you the heartache! Furthermore, knowing that he could not replace Zorro for you, there was something just as beautiful to find in a living perennial to remember Zorro by that will be there and with you forever. I hope that makes sense and doesn't seem silly to anyone, its just how I felt about it x

It makes total sense samwiseg. I've not told anyone this but when we were on the way back from the vet with Roswell I could see how much he was struggling to breathe and how distressed he was. I said under my breath "can you please either take him now or make him better". No less than 30 seconds later, Roswell had died. It wasn't a peaceful death, but it was quick-ish.

Made me cry. But so moving and lovely too. Zorro was one lucky hamster. I am sorry it made you cry ffiscool . I didn't know it was going to be a teary type of post Zorro was a funny character, he was so territorial that I would have to use gloves before finding him and cupping him up. no.. it was just so loving and emotion filled, and I am soppy like that, it's fine :-)

This was a beautiful tribute to your little friend, Zorro. I cried all the way through because I could feel all the love you have for him, just by reading your words and thoughts. He was lucky to have an owner who loved him so much like you do.

I hope that makes sense and doesn't seem silly to anyone, its just how I felt about it x Thank you so much for giving me a different insight to the situation, especially the mum part. I do sometimes see her negatively and perhaps I shouldn't. It was the timing. I was so stressed and upset and the last thing I needed from her was to make me feel worse. She was a lot kinder when we put my budgies to sleep though which was helpful. It is definitely not silly at all. We all have different perceptions and we all see and feel things differently. Your explanation makes perfect sense and it is up to the reader whether they believe it or not but your opinion, belief or feeling is never silly. Thank you for explaining

It hurts to read Marianne Marlow but it was her time. I felt the same with Zorro and how he died before I made the decision myself. I believe in God so I believe He gives life and takes it at the right time even if we feel it's not the right time. It would never be the right time for me. Ziyad asked me how long I would have had them for and I said at least another 10 years. You become to attached and when they're around you don't realise how much you will be affected when they're not there. I miss coming home to them. My heart still feels very heavy, I don't want to compare a mother losing her baby but to me that's what it feels like. Sorry to anyone who may feel I am making a bad connection here, it's not my intention to hurt anyone.

I loved him very much and he was my first time in losing someone I loved so much.
