A Memoriam for Girl- Girl!

On the day that we remember our War Dead, it may seem to non Dog With Blog'ers; insensitive, even childish to write a post in memory of a Hamster, even if she was a Sapphire Winter White!
I'm sorry if that's the case.
However to me, the loss of a loved one, no matter whether human or animal, large or small, is a sad time.
And, like many DWB'ers, I held Girl-Girl in affection.
I never had a Hamster as a pet, but always considered them the cutest of the Rodent family.
Only Chincilla Crunchie who belongs to 'neice' & 'nephew' Molly & Taffy's hooman comes close!
Girl-Girl, like me was a 'honary' member of the DWB group, she held the title of a 'Hamsterrier'; and with the aid of her Eil, participated in ALL the Barkday/Pawty events including mine.
Here she is dressed for my 'virtual' Ladies Day @ Royal Ascot, this June...
I always enjoyed seeing her delightful antics on her blog; she visited me regularly, leaving me 'nice' comments about my photo's when others didn't; she remembered my birthday this year...
And, my love of postcards - she sent me three, when the Singapore Grand Prix was in town!
So, I will miss this little girl and am thinking of her family, who will miss her so much more.

How sweet.
How did you post your signature in your side-bar without the back ground strip showing?

I just started using mine on my blog today and as you can see there is a large strip behind it.
I want it to post like yours.
Can you help a fellow blogger out please?

Hey Blue

Took me ages to put up my Remembrance Day post. Interesting what we all choose to remember. I went for a post about the Ark Royal and the British Forces in Gibraltar.

Had so much to write (and too many pix) that I had to add the rest today - the dog part, including a springer, so I thought about you.
