Rest in Peace, Penny #2
She was a good hamster while she lasted. I believe the cause of death was a fall from the cage wall or an upper deck. She had shone no sign of illness. The first hamster looked sick for a few hours and buried itself in it's little house. I found Penny #2 out in the open, near the frontdoor of the cage. It didn't even occur to me to lie to the kids, again. I told them right away. Mini Me cried (The Mourner). Boy #1 volunteered to call and tell S.A.M (The Informer). Boy #2 volunteered to pick up the body and put it in a box (The Undertaker). Then they asked for another pet that wasn't so fragile. ::Sigh:: I loved Penny #2. I'll miss her.

This doesn't seem an appropriate time to yell "FIRST!" so I won't.
ReplyDeleteRIP Penny #2. We barely knew thee.
You know how in The Incredibles at the end the Underminer comes out? I was thinking underminer instead of undertaker for a second.
ReplyDeleteMy girls call him the Underwearminer.
Sorry to hear about Penny the twoth (pronounced tooth, as in 2nd)
So what are you going to get next? An armadillo?
I'm sorry about Penny, and I'm sorry you and your children are sad. :(
ReplyDeleteI ♥ their titles: The Mourner, The Informer, and The Undertaker...cute!
AW. Poor Penny. Poor kids. Losing a pet as a child can be so intense, I remember.

Condolonces to your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hamster Dance!!! Your house is like some kind of Hamster Slaughterhouse. Annies Place: Where Hamsters Come To Die.....
ReplyDeleteWe kill off Beta Fish at about the same pace. :(
R.I.P Penny....unless they bury you in Pet Semetary. You're not, are you Annie?
Haven't seen such an outpouring of sympathy for an expired hamster since Hampton the Dancing Hamster's passing.
ReplyDeleteIn memorium of Penny.
bye little penny....I have heard they are trying to do away with penny's and all....
ReplyDeleteI feel bad because a few weeks ago I was going to dedicate a Silly Saturday vid to Penny.
ReplyDeleteBut now it's too late :(
Booo hooo.
Oh so sad. :( I have sworn off hamsters. They are fragile and so are my daughters hearts.
ReplyDeleteI got a kick out of the responsibilities your children took on: The Mourner, The Informer, and The Undertaker. Precious.
Sorry about two cents. No really, I just saying! BIG RICH
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. Never fun to tell your kids you've lost a pet :S
ReplyDeletePoor Penny 2! That must have been hard for your kids to find her that way! Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next pet!
ReplyDeleteIt's time to get a turtle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should try getting a pet rock :)
