I tried to turn back time...

To the time where I saw that cute little pair of eyes... I was immediately attracted to her.

And she became my Hamu-Chan...

A sweetie which I will talk to despite the language barrier we have. I will cry to her when I am upset. Vent my anger when I am unhappy... Her cute little eyes and furry body never fails to cheer me up. Never...

I tried searching for the receipt that I bought her 2 years back... I wish that time would stop... or at least... moving slowly...

2 weeks ago, my Mum and Sister notice a growth on her back. Initially I thought it's nothing serious. But as day goes by, I realise it's not looking good. So I decided to bring her to the Vet on Thursday.

Dennis accompanied me and Hamu-chan to the Mt Pleasant Animal Hospital for her checkup. She was exceptionally motionless when she was in the examination room. I wish I could understand her language and talk to her.

When the doctor saw her, he asked me how old she is. After knowing that she is already 2, he told me that it's common to have growth like that growing out. (Guess it's cancerous.)

He asked us to wait outside and he will examine her.

After awhile, the doctor called us into the room. He showed us a syringe with a little bit of blood and fluid. He told us that it's extracted from the growth and what's remaining in the growth is a mess.

He want us to think about the decision of whether to operate on her to remove the growth. But the percentage of her dying during the operation is like 40%? I don't think I want to take the risk. However, removing it doesn't mean that it won't grow back again...

I know what he mean. Hamster's lifespan isn't long. At most 2 and a half years.

So I guess... I will just leave her as how she is.

The truth is painful. She looks perfectly okie... Just that the growth is bothering us. She looks fine and active... It's as if she is putting on a strong front... If only I am as strong as her...

I tried feeding her anti-biotics but I know she dislike the taste... I wish she can get well soon... I don't want her to leave me... not so soon...

I will pray for her... Please do that too if you happened to read this post...

Thanks Dennis baby for keeping me company today... I will be very scared and upset if I am alone... Thanks baby...

I love you Baby...

And I love you, Hamu-Chan...
