Dotty's theme for May

Hey everyone...guess what? You know Dotty, my hamster who is who I based this whole blog on?


She died.


Yah. I'm really sad. So the theme for May is....



In memory of Dotty.

Here is something my mom wrote and emailed to people:


Dotty
Spring 2007- May 4, 2009



Our beloved Dotty, age 2+, died in her sleep last night of natural causes. She had been ailing for several weeks but last night it was clear that the end was near. Her family declared that she was on "Hamster Hospice" and gathered around her cage to offer warm wishes for her journey to Hamster Heaven. She died a few hours later.

Dotty was born in early 2007 and adopted very soon thereafter by her human family. She was a warm, furry, adventure-seeking hamster who loved sunflower seeds, yogurt, peanut butter and fresh vegetables. She loved to escape from her cage and explore her home whenever possible. In 2008, she escaped her accidentally unlocked cage during the night and explored the entire upstairs of her home. Greg awoke after midnight and thought he saw a sock moving very quickly across his bedroom floor. It turned out to be the impetuous Dotty, on the run! She begrudgingly returned to her cage without causing a scene.

In 2008, Dotty's owners put her in her rolly ball for playtime. She managed to roll her ball down the stairs, pop open the lid and escape again. Her little-girl owners called her name repeatedly. After about 5 minutes of searching, they heard a familiar squeak and found Dotty comfortably seated inside Sophie's American Girl backpack. Dotty returned to her cage, again without incident.

While she lived in her cage, Dotty enjoyed barking (yes, hamsters can make little barks!) at 10 p.m. nightly to let everyone know it was playtime, running on her wheel, moving her little house back and forth across her cage with her nose, and standing up on her hind legs to show her owners how cute she was. While on excursions out of her cage, Dotty liked to play "run through the tunnel" up her owner's sleeves, and tickle her owners' faces with her whiskers.

One of Dotty's proudest moments in life was when Sophie named her blog for this beloved pet-- www.dottyzine.blogspot.com

Dotty is survived by Sophie, Flora, Greg and Teri, who all miss her very much. She was preceded in death by hamsters Fluffy and Peaches.
