Goodbye, Socks.

[Hamster Munchies]

On the 15th of April, just when I thought I was finally finished with dying pets, my precious Socks passed away.

At 5 in the morning on that horrible, rainy, overcast day, I felt a sudden jolt out of sleep. I had a sudden urge to go check on the buns…maybe it was an owner’s instinct or something, but I felt like there was something wrong.

I ran through the rain to their covered hut, and instantly knew something was wrong. I opened the back door and peered in. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, Daisy dashed up and licked my face. Suddenly, my eyes caught something in the corner. Socks was splayed out, her back legs paralyzed, and she lifted her head slightly to look at me.

I cried out and gently lifted Socks out of the hutch. She had one last little jolt, then she was gone. I felt a mixture of tears and rain flowing down my cheeks. I was choking on my own sobs as Daisy peered curiously over my shoulder. I gently shut the door to keep Daisy from getting wet, then slogged through the mud to get back inside. When I carried Socks in, my mom gasped. 

I’m sorry, Socks. I’m sorry I didn’t come earlier. You were fine before I went to bed…I still can’t believe you’re gone. You were my best friend when no one else was. You were my healing medicine for those few days after Cloud died…I can’t believe it. I sill feel like when I walk out, there will be the happy sister pair there has been for the past 8 or 9 months. Stupid hornets. Why did they have to target you, my sweet, innocent little baby? 

We had lots of good times, me and you. We were happy when we were together, just the three of us.

I just lost the last piece of Blu that I ever had to hold on to. I lost you, Socks. And that broke me.

Goodbye, baby.

Oh I’m so very sorry for your loss.

((((Socks))))

I heard about this on the hh forum and I am very sorry for your loss. She was calling to you, to be with her when she passed, because she loved you so much and wanted you to be at peace knowing that she loved you. She knew she was going and wanted to be with you. She wanted you to know she is ok. I hope you are comforted in that you were with her when she passed, and that she is free and whole at the rainbow bridge. (((((Hugs)))))

I’m so very sorry for your loss :'( I can only imagine your heartbreak, but I hope you can take some comfort from knowing you could be with her in her last moments.
Binky free at the Rainbow, Socks. Obviously a much loved and dear companion who will be deeply missed. <3

Oh No! I’m so sorry but at least you had her in your arms before she passed away.

I’m so sorry for your loss,  and I agree with the others who said she called out to you spiritually before she passed, try to take some solace in the comfort that she obviously loved you very much and you were her family and that spirituality you two have an unshakeable bond. I’m sure she continues to love you and watch over you and will always be with you. My sincerest condolences.

Wiping away my tears, I am so sorry your Socks left you Hamster Munchies. I imagine the pain in your heart and tummy is overwhelming. I know this means nothing now, but you will heal in time, and every time you think of Socks that is her saying she is still with you. Think of her often (though I’m sure you will) when the grief eases. Take care of yourself and give Daisy extra love and attention, I’m sure she will be hurting too. Again, I am so sorry.

So sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and Daisy. Binky free Socks.
