Saying Goodbye to Rocket

Allyson had to say a sad goodbye to her little rodent friend the other day. Rocket had been in her life for 2 years and it was apparently time for his little life to be over (hamsters don't live very long). He was a good little hamster and loved to play with Allyson, be carried on her shoulder and make his way through the many obstacle courses Allyson and her friends set up for him. This is the first thing Allyson has had to say goodbye to and she was sad and said she would really miss having her little companion in her room. After a quick burial in the back yard and a few nice words from Allyson (and a few little tears too), we said goodbye.
