We fear that one of our creatures is dying. Patches is our oldest hamster. Ms GadgetVicar was spoonfeeding him last night. GadgetVicar Girl No 2 is disconsolate. I'm a bit tearful too.
We're keeping him warm and he seems to be enjoying snuggling up to those who hold him.
Pets bring joy and pain.
Update @ 7pm: Patches is still holding on.
Mmm that's true, when the first of our guinea pigs died, my husband was more "in touch with his feelings" than he really wanted to be...He was the one who took our ailing creature to the vet... I assured him afterwards that the vet was probably well used to grown men crying in the consultation room...
