00:00I remember my hamster, Lily.
00:06So, I remember always wanting a hamster when I was little.
00:10And my parents thought that I wasn't responsible enough because I was little.
00:14But one Christmas in 2010, I got a hamster.
00:18To be honest, I was scared of her because she had, like, red eyes.
00:23And out of all the hamsters in the world, I had to get her with red eyes.
00:27But she was really patient with me, and after a while, you know, I warmed up to her.
00:32She loved her exercising wheel. She loved it.
00:36I don't know why, but she would pour food in her mouth,
00:39and then she'd put it in her exercising wheel,
00:42and she'd, like, start rolling on it and rolling on it a lot,
00:45and it would make, like, that noise.
00:47Every time I'd hear it, I'm like, Lily!
00:50And I'd turn on the light, but I couldn't get mad at her because she was just so adorable.
00:55One Christmas, I made her this Christmas tree,
00:58and I got, like, some popsicle sticks, and I glued them together and I painted them.
01:03It was so funny because I got this little gift bag that was so tiny,
01:08and I got, they like biscuits, so I put a biscuit in there,
01:12and she was, like, so happy that Christmas.
01:15When she passed away, we did a proper funeral,
01:19and I even made this little rock, painted just like her coat.
01:23It was orange and white on the bottom.
01:25I was decorating it, and I had this heart that I wanted to put,
01:29but I wasn't sure because it had glitter on it, and I didn't want it to fade away.
01:32Then all of a sudden, it, like, flew to me,
01:34and I thought it was a message from her, like, that she loved me.
01:38And on that rock, I put her name, and I put from 2010 to 2011,
01:44and she was just so lovable and so precious to me,
01:48and she was just an awesome hamster.
