We love you Fluffy

It has been a month since I noticed Fluffy's rash, a little more than 2 weeks since we took him to the vet, and 4 days since we brought him home.

2nd January 2015: Fluffy was about 4 weeks old then, he was a tiny little baby hammy and he was the most adorable thing ever!!

I remember how excited Terry and I were when our parents agreed to let us share a pet! The feeling of taking little Fluffy home from the pet store!! We were so happy :)

We take care of Fluffy together; we play with him, feed him delicious snacks - his favourite snack is popcorn! - and talk to him while fascinating over the possibility that he may understand us xD

At least twice a week, I play The Piano Guys next to his cage and pet him to sleep. He seems to love music as much as I do xD and he really loooooves being petted to sleep. I find it extremely cute when he flattens his fat body on the bedding and stiffens his tiny tail while he's being petted :P It makes me want to just pinch that little pokey tail!!

Occasionally, I let Fluffy run on my bed. He used to love running outside of the cage!

But Fluffy hasn't been feeling very well recently... He doesn't eating well, he seems tired all the time, he hardly wants to exercise on the wheel or in his hamster ball anymore :(

Fluffy has lost so much fur and so much weight, and he's always scratching himself :( I don't know what went wrong along the way, or if this is just the sickness some hamsters catch on at old age.

All I know is, if Fluffy can't get better in his lifetime, I really hope that he at least remains happy like he was before all this happened ><

We'll never give up on you Fluffy :') Does it sound silly to be so attached to a little hamster? Idk, but I love Fluffy so much, especially because he's the first pet I've ever had.

Seeing Fluffy suffer like this really scares and saddens me. Once or twice, seeing him look so sad and tired even triggered in me a tinge of regret. But then I quickly correct myself, because the truth is that Fluffy has brought us so much more happiness than sadness in its little lifetime. If anything, I should feel glad that little Fluffy landing in our hands, that way we can really take care of his poor little condition.

I know that whatever happens from now till then, Terry and I will keep each other positive and forbid the memory of our first pet to sour because an unavoidable circumstance.

We're doing whatever we can for you, ok Fluffy? Hang it there!! :')
