remembering Goldie, ? to 8-?-08

Last night as Henry was falling asleep I was keenly aware of no sound coming from our hamster Goldie's cage. I had been concerned about her all day, but thought I would listen last night for her noises and then decide what to do in the morning. This afternoon I remembered my concern. Earlier in the week I had fed her nice, organic romaine and Joel and I both noticed that she looked shaky when she woke up the following evening, but we didn't say anything to Henry.

I checked on her this afternoon, since I couldn't see a trace of her this morning, and discovered her body, little hamster soul already with her maker. Goldie, we loved you and we will miss you. Rest in peace.
