After several "he's gone" and "nope, he's rallying" comments yesterday, little Dobby finally died sometime during the night. Clay tried his best to keep Dobby alive by holding him, giving him home-made vitamin water and loving him, but after reading on the internet, Dobby was probably 70+ years old (he was already one or two -- in human years -- when we got him back in August) and just too old to keep going.
He had a wonderful little life with us for the past few months. The boys adored him, even Ron. And, he had great fun being "spider hamster" and climbing to the top of his cage only to let go and fall in the shavings....much to our amusement. And, Ron and Clay will forever wake up with "Dobby-look"!
Good-bye, sweet, little Dobby! We're going to miss you!
