I think I was taken aback less by the death and more by the underwhelming and unceremonious departure.

Oh! Poor hamster! I would have mourned for the poor thing! oor hamster! What was the hamster's name?

@Gallagher: Really? I find that quite interesting, to be honest. I never would knew fish could be affectionate. I knew they could be smart (The ones my mom had knew when they were going to be fed), but not affectionate. I wonder if the fish was trying to bite my mom's and my finger when were put out finger in the fish tank.

@Quietmancometh: Yeah!
