Our little hamster, Dozer, died last Tuesday. We're not sure why (he was only 5 months old), but he seemed to die peacefully in his sleep. It was a sad day for us--I especially felt bad for Charlie, who played with him the most and so willingly cleaned his cage and took care of him. I guess it is a good experience for the kids (especially the younger two) to get a better grasp of life and death. I think death is such an abstract concept for little ones--hard to wrap their minds around. It may sound silly, but I'm reminded of that well known phrase, "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
