Here’s the exclusive interview with Tom, the owner of Misty:

“Misty was born around September 2007, she came to live with me in early March 07, she was a very special hamster.

She recently passed away on the 19th of July 2008, she was nearly 2 years old and she will be missed. She came home from a bad pet shop; she was covered in droppings, in no condition suitable for any animal. She was smaller than most other hamsters but she showed me more love then any other hamster has in all my time of keeping.

As she got older, she never slowed down or developed an illness. She passed away peacefully and without pain, it was very unexpected.

For the 15 months we had spent together, she was very very special and even though we’re apart her prints lay in my heart.

I hope she never thinks I will forget her and she knows I will meet with her once again.

Thank you for voting Misty as your Hamster of the month.”  ~  Tom
