Sad News
Our little hamster, Cotton, died today. She was about two years old. I'm not sure what illness she had, but she'd had sores all over for about a month. We tried feeding her more fresh veggies and giving her more exercise, but she never really got better. These past few days, she was not very active at all, and we could tell she was having trouble getting around. I buried her out in the woods beside our apartment complex.
We named her Cotton because Steph got her for me for our 2nd anniversary. The traditional gift for your 2nd anniversary is cotton, and we had not gotten each other anything made of cotton, so we named her that to fulfill the tradition.
She was a very fun pet. I recommend hamsters to anyone; they're loads of fun, and don't require nearly as much attention as dogs or cats. (I also highly recommend dogs to people who have the time and energy to give them.)
Here is a video of Cotton doing one of her favourite things that she would do, escape from her cage!

I miss that little rat already. Pun intended.

Oh, gosh... I'm sorry, James.
I should probably stress that I liked cotton, especially when he would roll around the apartment in the little ball. The rat joke was humor intended.
Sorry to hear that, James and Steph.
