For anyone who was curious:

The hamster has been pronounced dead, due to stiffness and turning blue.

I feel bad for the boy, who has to deal with this during finals.

He has gone down the garbage chute (no where to bury him in the apartment complex), so hopefully if he is somehow not-dead, he can live happily amongst table scraps.

He was a cute hamster. Stupid, but cute.

Oh, dear. I was thinking yesterday that would be one way you could tell, but never got around to posting.

I know, me too. I feel kind of guilty, except the sheer weirdness of it still astounds me.

Ooh, sympathy. Pet death is nasty--they're so sweet and innocent. From a Buddhist perspective, though, this does give him/it another chance at an upgrade in the next round.

Not meant to be cute, BTW. Lost my cat of 17 years last fall, and that was one of my comforting thoughts.

Yeah, and I always feel guilty because I'm not sure if I made them happy. Well, the boy in this case.

I'll keep that in my head, thanks for the thoughts.

Awww. My sympathies to you and the boy.

Thanks.

Aww. Poor little hamster. I'm sorry for your loss!

You're always storing up angst with rodents, they have such short lives.

Yeah... luckily I wasn't too emotionally attached to the hamster, but I think I will be devastated with the rats.

But am trying not to think about that right now.
