All Emilee wanted was a Hamster for her birthday. So Rod and I got her that, she was the cutest little thing, at first I didn't think it was such a great idea. But I went along with Rod, he's always been right about things with our kids. Emilee called her Oreo, Rod and I called her Hami the Hamburgerler. Especially when she would get out of of her cage. Which I still to this day don't know how she was getting out. On Thursday I did my rounds and checked to make sure she was still in her cage, she seemed really tired I didn't think anything about it. That night when I went to bed she was passed away.
I waited until Emilee got home from school on Friday, I didn't want her to go to school sad and crying. Which I knew what would happen. So Friday after school I broke the news to her. She was very upset, crying and crying. She called her friend Bailey and she asked her to come and play with her and Blake. They got together, planned a sleep over to help Em not be so sad. It worked for a little bit, then she was home a little after 9pm. So she came home and went start to bed. Today we had a little funeral for her, it was very hard for her. I was very sad to see my little girl upset. We had a prayer, and everyone said something nice about her, Em petted her one last time and we placed her into the ground with a small flower. The boys helped Em and her dad cover the hole and we placed some more flowers on top. Emilee went into the house and cried and wrote in her journal, we looked through the camera for pic's of her and were able to, and she was happy. We will go look for a new one next week. But it was sad to see her hurting. But she will get through it. Her dad explained that she was already in Heaven running around giving everyone a great laugh since she was such a cutie.

Awww... it's always hard to lose a pet and so tramatizing at that age. You and Rod are good parents for doing a funeral. Spencer would probably want to dissect it. He's not an animal lover.
Poor Em. I knew she was upset the other day. I could tell it bothered her a lot. I hope she perks up when she gets a new one.
That is so sad. I remember when my pets died as a kid. It is hard to learn about. =(
