This blog is all about my hamster, Melon, because its about time that little furball got some fame! and I don't really know how to make a blog but I write about what I know best and that's Melon. She is so cute and anytime I'm bored I can just stare at her for hours and I never get tired of it! Hope you enjoy reading about my hamster and our weird life.
Last night on April 23rd, 2012, I found my baby in a corner of her cage. She was not breathing. Melon has passed away at the age of 2 1/2 years. She was a beautiful hamster and a perfect companion. Our time together was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anything else.
I have not posted here in so long. I was actually planning a post this week but evidently did not get to it. This was mostly due to the drastic changes my health kept going through. I was not in a good state and still am not but I'm getting there. I couldn't take care of Melon like I used to and my brother had to do most of the cleaning and feeding. I suspect it was my lack of involvement that caused this. I really am sorry to Melon and to everyone. I am doing my best to get better. Though Melon's recent departure has caused some significant drops in my state, it's to be expected.
She will be missed and I will always remember her.
Hey people, I know I posted a video yesterday of Melon on YouTube (and here too) but I can't get enough of Sony Vegas! I love it, I can do SO many things! So as I was checking out all the effects and transitions and stuff I somehow ended up making a short compilation of (most) of the pictures I have of Melon.
I had actually been cleaning out and sorting my pictures and I found that I had a LOT of pics of her stacked up. I decided to add all the good ones to my project to have some material to use. I then got the idea to make it sort of like an intro or opening sequence for all of Melon's future videos and this is what I ended up with
Hello, everyone. It sure has been a while. So sorry about that. Quite a bit has happened since my last post and, unfortunately, not all those things are good. First, I'll start off with a Happy Thanksgiving! I know in the UK it is not celebrated but here in the US it's a big big big thing! I know it's late because Woah~ It's December 1st! But anyway, here's what's been going on.
My birthday came and went quickly (November 20th) and sadly I was sick so all I did was sleep >.> Melon's birthday was supposed to be celebrated the 26th as usual but a whole lot of things happened in that week that really turned our world upside down.
On November 24th we (my family and I) all went to my Godmother's house as usual for Thanksgiving. Our family is outrageously large so we started cooking right away (two turkeys and two chickens as well). While decorating cupcakes we received a call. My sister had called to inform us my grandmother was sick. She's been sick for a while now with cancer and, by the looks of it, she only had hours left. Our family is strong, especially in numbers but this was just the fall of our world.
On November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving, at approximately 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time my grandmother, and our Sun, Modesta Peña passed away.
Melon's birthday was not celebrated. No one's tears were unseen. And our life was just... practically over...
For the first few days I couldn't do anything but sob. I screamed at night. I banged my head against the wall, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. I didn't go to school for a few days, and when I finally got up and headed out to class I ended up crying into the nurse's arms for who knows how long.
It really is an awful thing. I still can't go a day without sobbing hysterically.
And so I decided~I'll savor every moment of my life with my loved ones. I'll take pictures, videos, I'll thank them as if it was Thanksgiving everyday, I'll APPRECIATE my family before they go as well...
And I really didn't want to rant but I really felt it was important. And so after all this happened I decided to make a video, at least one, of Melon~The teeny little furball that helped me through this. I'm definetly not healed yet, I don't think any of us are, but I know I'm getting better. And I know that my Grandmother would want me to keep going, to live on. And so I will. With Melon, and with any other hammie that falls into my grasp.
Thank you for reading~Please, love and appreciate what you have before it's too late. My grandmother had more love from all of us than I can even comprehend and I know she is at peace.
