Farewell to Fred


Fred, the beloved hamster in my son's classroom, died the other day. Given the tumor growing on his shoulder, the kids knew it was only a matter of time. My son wrote him (with help) a darling little note the day before he died...


Our school custodian (the old softy) built a little wooden casket for Fred, and then helped the K-1 class bury him. It was a sweet little funeral, just perfect for a sweet little hamster...

It must have been sad, I hate when any living thing dies slowly. Its torture.
