Alex got into grad school!! Yay!! He will be starting the WCU nurse practioner program this coming fall & it will take him three years part time.
Our hamster, Coconut (Photo Not Available), passed away some time between a few days ago and while I was eating dinner tonight and glanced over at his cage.
Coconut lived a happy little hamster life and put smiles on the faces of all the visiting children (who were promptly told, “Do not put your fingers in there, he will bite you” at which point Alex would say, “It is a girl,” and I would say, “No it is not” and just today I learned it was, in fact, a girl).
Visitation will be tomorrow at 4 p.m. followed by a brief memorial service for the immediate family. Interment will follow somewhere yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Community Pet Center at http://www.rutherfordpets.org/.
Song for the day:
Rest in Peace Coconut Hamster Beaumont, April 2007- May 6, 2009

My mom always sand that song. RIP to your hamster. Enjoy the graduation. Are you taking all of the kids or will you get some alone time?

So sorry to hear about the ham-ham. It was really hard for me and James when Mocha died. But they had good lives… Coconut had a super nice little space-themed environment to live in, lots of love, and like Mocha lived a little bit longer than her hammie life expectancy (boy when PetSmart says 18 months, they’re really not joking are they?) That’s doing pretty good for a hamster. I know you and the girls will miss Coconut…I’m sorry.

Oh and my first message said “Congratulations Alex!” but I forgot to put in my email address and had to retype everything while Emily was fussing about not having enough quarters for one of her pretend excursions. Yep…one of those days.
