Moment of Silence, Please

The ancient, enfeebled, debilitated hamster of the household has finally shuffled off this mortal coil. He appears to have died peacefully, curled up in his nest and surrounded by his favorite foodstuffs. While we knew his warranty had expired quite some time ago, it is still the loss of a wee mammalian friend. May he find peace and happiness in the Beyond, along with all of the other beloved pets who have passed through our lives.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
