My precious little hamster Popcorn died peacefully of old age a couple weeks ago. I miss him with a pang but I know I gave him the best life possible. He was my first rescue with The Little Critter Crew and he stayed. I hade him for over a year. He was about two when he died. We had a tight bond and I am so grateful to have had him in my life. He helped me to grow in countless ways.
I have since adopted another hammie in need. His name is Bao, after the Chinese bun, which he resembles.
Two foster gerbils are coming my way today.
A few days ago I saw a homeless man being bullied by a large man who was yelling at him.I have seen the homeless man around the neighborhood. He is a gentle soul. I stopped my walk and turned around and walked towards this scene taking place in a quieter part of a city park. They both noticed me. As I got closer and then stood still, wishing I had my cell phone, the large bully jogged away. I asked the homeless fellow if he was ok and he told me this man yells at him every chance he gets. He wishes someone would call the police when it happens. He thanked me for being there.
I now make a point of carrying my phone.

unknown wrote: So sorry to hear about Popcorn. I have always enjoyed reading about your "critters". You have a very big heart, Sissy and I admire you for not looking away when thar homeless man was bullied. I watched a documentary recently where a homeless man said somebody set his blankets on fire when he was sleeping and his hand got badly burnt. Some people need to be more compassionate and caring - just like you 💗
