DD's hamster died.

[MerryCouthyMows]

And she hasn't cried or anything. She has asked for a new hamster. I've cried more than DD. She says she is upset. This is the extent of it.

How is she so matter of fact about it all? She has got her red tutu on for Red Nose Day, and is brushing her hair.

The hamster was exactly 2 years old. RIP Ginger.

rip ginger

Dd1 was exactly the same, she was 18 though so maybe that was why, she was away working and I phoned her to tell her. The hamster had been an 18th birthday present from her boyfriend so I did expect her to be upset. She just said "oh well".

In the meantime Dd's 2 and 3 were completely beside themselves and planning a funeral

Dd1 has no dx but I believe she has AS, Dd2 is NT ish and Dd3 has Asd.

Sorry to hear about your hammy

Hugs

DS rabbit died on DS's ninth birthday. That was slightly more traumatic.

aw poor hammy They're lovely pets.

when ds1's new hamster developed wet tail I cried my eyes out at the vets. They were and ds2 was but I was so upset for ds1.

ds2 won't come to the vets with me any more because 'It's so embarrassing - you cry like a baby.'

Aww sorry Merry
Hamsters are lovely aren't they? Good pets.
Ds (15) was beside himself when we lost our cat. I should say HE lost HIS cat ... Coz she didn't much like anyone apart from him. I think there is something about autism and cats... they just seem to gravitate towards him ...its weird!. I've never seen pet grief like it..he didn't know what to do with himself for weeks... It just seemed raw for ages. 4 years on its still there for him a bit.. I can tell.
We have lost actual people ( a grandfather) and he has been less upset.
