The 3-legged hamster

Ladies and Gents,
This is for the sake of a dear friend of mine.

My lovely friend dropped off her 3 legged hamster for me to watch for the week. Each morning as I wake up to feed and tend to this hamster, it hobbles over to the edge of the cage and always ends up on the right side of the cage since it's front left leg was amputated after the accident.
This poor hamster was posing for Rodents Quarterly and slipped on some dry ice....
Long story short.....
Surgery, after surgery...ended in amputation.

This small fuzzy rodent has a sweet side.... that's for sure, but it's poop straight up STANKS!

The rodent wakes me up with his wolf impersonation every morning at about 4:30 am. My friends are night workers and actually have been training their 3-legged hamster for the "Animal's Got Talent" coming to Greenville next year. So I'm waking up to this hamster howling and I'm thinking...hmm...is this friendship really worth this?? haha wow. It's been pretty intense is all I have to say. It is cruelly funny though when he ends up stuck in the far right corner of the room in his rolly ball...hehehe

Memories have been made and sacrifices have been forced!
Now that this month (that was supposed to be a week) is coming to an end....maybe I can sleep past 4:30 again! yipee

Love you friend!



ps. this cracks me up! I hope SOMEONE gets this!
