My sweet Haleth passed away on Monday. She was 2 years and 5 months old putting her in third place for longest living hamster I've had. For those wondering, Tarcil and Fili have had her beat by a couple months. Haleth was quite young when I got her in March 2021 from the Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. She was so scared of me when I brought her home. In fact, she peed on me while I was holding her to decide what hamster to bring home from the ACC. I've never had to work so hard to tame a hamster before. But with lots of patience of only hand feeding her nearly every day for weeks, I eventually won her over. I love looking at the pictures of when I first brought her home because she was so small and clearly had a baby face! It's fun getting a hamster that young because they grow up so fast!
Haleth was chill enough to let me bring back hamster Halloween costumes which was so fun last year! I do hope that Glorfindel will let me continue my tradition this year, but we'll see as that's still a ways away. I miss my sweet girl. I hope you enjoy seeing these pictures that never got posted before. ❤
