Very Sad News :(

I am sorry to hear about Captain Barnacle. He died the way he lived, very quietly and with no fuss. He was a sweet little hamster.

My sympathies to your son. I still remember you getting Captain Barnacle for him and the naming and everything and it really seems like just yesterday. I hope he is not too upset. Can you have a little burial in the garden to remember Captain Barnacle as the really fine hamster that he was.
I guess you daughter will be upset as well.
I don't know if it is a comfort, but he had a really good life as a hamster and you gave him everything he needed. His life was short, but it was a life well lived.
