Hamster Story by Abijah Alaniz

So this is a story about a hamster that was a one of a kind
pal. Even though all hamsters have their differences, to me Fisket stood out
and wasn't just a hamster. He was a very close companion on which I couldn't
live without, literally.
Everywhere I went I took him with me. And with every
picture we took he would either be checking himself out in the mirror or just
simply smiling at the camera. I honestly can't put my affections for Fisket
into words. My love for him was so strong I just can't explain it. It's like
those random smells on which you can't identify.
I still remember the day I
got Fisket and how it went. It was on September 7, 2010 when my Dad surprised
me with a maroon cage and a small rectangle box that kept vibrating because he
kept moving. When I opened the box there was a small hamster with a little pink
nose and a white pelt. In that instant there was a strong connection.
We spent
every single day together and I took him literally everywhere with me. I even
took him to school one time! Fisket was a healthy and happy little hamster as
if he didn't have a care in the world. But then a dark day came on which would
have come sooner or later. It was a month after his 1 year anniversary. He didn't
have a painful death, but yet peaceful.
He passed in his sleep on which to me
looked as if he was still smiling. Of course I was devastated but I was
grateful I got to spend a whole year with him. Also Fisket wouldn't have wanted
me to be grieving but to be happy for the time we spent together. To me Fisket
as I said earlier was a one of a kind hamster.
