In memory

So we got a hamster to try out our parenting skills. We named him Hammy / Koetje (little cow). Pets can never seem to just have one name. Well Hammy was a good little hamster but unfortunately his life was a short one and he was a member of the Pertijs household for about 3 weeks. We had a funeral for little koetje and buried him in the woods. He came to our house on our bike and also left to be buried on the bike. He was a real trooper. I guess we'll have to try our parenting skills one more time with another little guy.

John looks on lovingly. If he only knew it would be the last time…

oh SAD! It's true what you say about pets never having just one name. My dog's name is Sasha, but I call her Toonsis, or Toonts.
