so long Bollo

Poor L's Hamster is no more. Off she has popped to hamster heaven. Or possibly hamster hell. Never before have i encountered such a vicious little rodent. The children were afraid of her. At every opportunity she would sink her teeth into an unwitting finger. I believe once she had found a taste for child blood she was no a mission to sample more. She killed her sister in a fit of pique. Possibly due to her sisters nauseating cuteness or her greed of the hamster wheel.
But for all this L loved her with a ferocity. He saw a misunderstood soul and connected. If she attempted to bite anyone he would leap to her defence. His grief was all consuming. Fortunately the length of time his grief had it's grasp on him was in fair ratio to the size of the critter. He is still sad but I have consented to allow him a new hamster. We will adopt an unwanted critter and hope for friendliness. He sees that there is purpose in Bollo's passing. Enabling him to give a caring home to an unloved pet.....He is a remarkable lad!
