Cuca and Penelope (R.I.P)

The two last years I had two little hamsters, they were called Cuca (from a joke for The Simpsons) and Penelope. Both were female.

I get them from a persa in Recoleta. 

They were diametrically opposed: Penelope was quiet and Cuca was a little messy. The first three months they shared a cage, but one day they started to fight. So, I had to put them in different cages. They slept during the day and played during nights (making a lot of noise, which was annoying to my family).

They were very importante to me, maybe we not played too much, or maybe they didin’t realize my existence, but to me was awesome observe them grow up, see them play in they wheel or hear their howls.

Cuca and Penelope died at the end of last year. They died with two months of difference. Penelope first (in October) and Cuca later (in December). They were buried inside two boxes of matches in the backyard of my house.
