Jake decided that his mourning was sufficiently completed, and purchased a new hamster (or "rodent" as Mom calls them). This is Steve, his new pet. And even Mom has to admit, this is a very, very nice rodent.
Epilogue: Steve's life was very short. We had the unfortunate experience of finding him in a coma one day after school in September. Despite our best efforts, he died in Jake's hands while Jake and Lander attempted to coax him back to life. He lived a good life, and died after a good fight. It was a sad, sad day at our house. Luckily, the boys are resilient, and we are now on to hamster #3, "Sam".
