I have always wanted a hamster since i was younge and my bigger sister had one well my mom finally cracked and got me one and it died of diabetes but it was ok cause i was not so attached but she got me another one and i named it "Beany-Baby" and he was a russian dwarf hamster with grey fur and black geogeous eyes! I always told every one who could not see him that he was the size of my thumb. we would sit on my bed, him on my chest, and we would watch tv together. i thought that when he died it would not devastate me that much but i found myself crying on my mothers shoulder for at least 10 mins. and even now i cry...i miss you Beany !!! :(
