Nooooooooo!
Baaaaad news, Bears.
We just lost a member of the Cute Overload family. Ms. Lucy 2.0, of HamsterTracker fame, has passed away. :(
Lucy brot great joy to all those who followed her whopping 485,033.25 meter run on her treadmill. each meter and fraction thereof was lovingly tallied by Mathijs, her owner.
Let's all have a paws up moment for dear Lucy, and Mathijs, we wish you swift, running, happy Lucys in your dreams...Baroooooo!
Here is my favorite Lucy memory, when Mathijs made served her a "micro cheeseburger" while "Cookin' for Lucy" series...[sniff]

So sad. :(
I love Lucy!
Oh how sad :( We love Lucy! It's true hamsters don't live long, but Lucy was especially adorable and sweet and famous to boot. Condolences to Mathijs.
Aww Run Free Lucy xx
Now Lucy can has all the cheeseburger she ever wants.
Sad, 'tis true... but already I find myself wondering about v3.0
Awww.
Goodbye Lucy :(
R.I.P. little hammie :(
sad....condolences....
Aw, the parsley spring on the microcheeseburger--that's a detail that shows how much Lucy was loved. So sorry, Mathijs.
:*-(
Deepest sympathies, Mathijs.
Bye bye, Lucy! :'(
Many good memories and happy thoughts of Lucy. She had the most wonderful human....meow and woof
Mathijs was her guardian angel (and gourmet chef!) on earth -- Lucy couldn't have had a better time here.
We will miss you Lucy. <3
Aww!
Good-night, sweet princess;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
:*^(
Sincerely sorry to hear of the passing of Lucy.
She will be missed.
:(
I hate hate hate that pets live such short lives. I so want my dogs and cats to live at least as long as I do.
My heart goes out to Mathjis. He and his little hammie darling brought smiles to thousands of people all over the world.
Good crossings over the Rainbow Bridge dear Lucy. And heartfelt thoughts to Mathjis.
Poor Lucy and Mathjis.
Lots of love for you, sleep well cute little Lucy.
The hamsterburger memory will always bring a smile here.
Ahhh, I'm so sorry. I know how much that hurts. I'm still smartin' over my kitty who died three months ago. Ms. Lucy certainly had a happy life, though.
(paws up salute)
Mathijs, the largeness of your affection was always measured by the perfect tininess of those meals.
When Lucy flies up to the Rainbow Bridge, she'll truly be Lucy In The Sky Reclinin'.
Bai bai, Lucy. T_T
Aww! The poor girl. :(
I just looked at all the Cookin for Lucy series. So sweet! Clearly she was very loved and "indulged" by her human. She will be missed.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. What a sweet, dear little thing....I am sure it had the best life a little hamster EVER had!!
Off to the Great Hamster Wheel In The Sky.
Go, Lucy, go!
...
And now for v. 3.0.
We can rebuild her.
We have the technology.
Awww, poor baby. My deepest sympathies to her family.
P.S. No offense intended at that last bit. I deal with things like this with jokes, and the Version X.0 deal was begging for a Six Million Dollar Man crack. I very well know that losing a pet sucks the hard one.
so sorry to hear about lucy. she was a lucky and very special hammie. its so hard to lose a pet.
Deepest Sympathies to Mathijs.. It is always a sad day when those we love pass on.
Go Lucy I hope you dance across a diamond sky.
you will be missed :-(
So sad. My heart breaks for her family.
Oh noes! That's so sad... *tear* My heart goes out to you Mathijs!
That is so sad. i wll pray for the little ham-ham. That is really sad :( Boo0 Hoo
my sympathies Mathijs
aaaaaaoooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
*sniffle*
;_;
Noooo!!! :( :'(
How sad to lose a member of the CO family. Hopefully, she now has her little wings like the hammies on the CO wallpaper. Run (or fly) in peace, Lucy!
She's probably sucking down cheeseburgers with Baru, Flan, Nana and Kumanoko right now...
Sweet Little Lucy will be missed.
Condolences. She will be missed. ; ;
I still miss Baru. I like knowing that these little hammies are cared about and missed my people halfway around the world.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Mathijs. Why does the passing of our littlest ones hurt the most? I hope she enjoys her new home among the clouds. :.)
One more thing - with all the troubles we've had in the US with contaminated pet food, plus I personally lost a bunch of gerbils early and quickly ... I wonder if there isn't a lot more contaminated pet food? And if there haven't been problems with the pet food for a few years now?
My sincerest condolences to Mathijs!
She was sweet and beautiful, and she will be missed by many!
*sniffle*
i usually come to cuteoverload to make me smile. tonight, it made me cry. poor lucy, poor mathijs. so sad.
farewell lucy.
this is one of the reasons i love this site. people from all over the world, mourning the loss of a wee hammie.
"all we are saying
is give cute a chance"
y'all are great.
I'm sorry Mathijs - Aubrey said it best - it hurts more than we think we can bear - but it simply becomes part of us - just like the joy they gave us - love M(:}M)
Sad to see Lucy go, but happy to see what a wonderful life she lived. Condolences, Mathijs.
Our earnest condolences to Mathijs. Lucy had an idyllic life secure in the affection of her human; a most enviable life for a four-footed furry. The absence of a merry, fat little soul is noticed even in this huge mammoth global village. A bientot, Lucy petite.
