Unfortunately
my old friend, Blackly, died in January. He was four years
old. It's an old age, because the average life span is just two to three
years. Till that last week he was joyous, strong and healthy. He lived
in a nice glass "house" with two floors. It was a daily work to jump
upstairs for the food. His favorite food was the almond. In the evening
he was waiting for the "excursion into my bedroom". After making some
circles, he climbed my leg, than my back. He hated to be alone in the
room.
Two days after Christmas, the chocolate figures were on the floor. I
left him alone for ten minutes. When I came back into the room a piece
of chocolate was at the door. It was interesting, because the figures
were standing in the other corner. He dragged it through the room and
ate the majority of the chocolate, more exactly he held it in his
cheeks. He liked to eat the booty in his house. He could build wonderful
nest from hay, paper, shavings. He had a "premade-house", but he
preferred the one he built and stored the feed in the other one. In my
room there is a "mouse-house" with little mice and furniture. That was
his favorite place to relax. Sometimes he would sit there for ten to
twenty minutes. But he did chew the toys' head.
In January we travelled abroad for ten days. When we came home he was
dying. He was weak, he couldn't eat. I washed his mouth with moist
cotton wool. He stayed with me in this bad shape four days. When he heard
my voice he saw me. He couldn't leave me. The last day he died in his
sleep. My friend is gone forever. I miss him very much! Now I have two new
young hamsters, they are brothers. Before us there is a long way to
become good friends! I will never forget Blackly!
