R.I.P. Missy

     Missy, our dwarf hamster, passed away last night. She had a long life with us, over two years, and she will be missed.
    Missy, I want to thank you for coming into our lives. The greatest gift that you gave Eva was the gift of Compassion. While you were not the cuddly hamster she wanted and often nipped us (but that might have been because Eva dropped you a few too many times in the beginning - sorry!), Eva was still excited to see you each morning. She couldn't wait to feed you and give you treats. She loved taking your picture and laughed at your antics. You taught her to love and care for someone/something, even if it doesn't seem that they deserve it; that every one/every thing, deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.  And for that, I thank you. May you be running through fields of clover with the sun shining on you.
