Hi,
HAPPY 14th! WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM
*PartyHatP* "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window.*PartyHatP*



Overall Impression
I enjoyed reading this animal anecdote. It brought back many memories. While they were growing up, my kids had tons of animals. We had gerbils, not hamsters. But we had one gerbil just like the hamster in the second paragraph. Those teeth felt like they sunk bone-deep. And, same as you discovered, the only way to get them off was to fling them around. It sounds horrible, but they do survive.

I'm guessing this is a true story. Your style is engaging, and you know how to find humor in questionable situations. Most of the story read great, with only a few hitches, probably due to my singular experience.

It's so difficult not to relate my own experiences when I've shared similar ones. We even had a similar gerbil dying instance, where we argued back and forth, saying he's dead, no he's not dead, until he did die.

I had no idea people actually bred blind hamsters. That's horrible.

A few thoughts
I was a little confused when you introduced Sleepy. You were trying to put him a one of those exercise balls when he jumped out? I've never heard of a hamster with orange legs, but then, like I said, we had gerbils. The equivalent of a dry Niagara Falls meant a tumble down the stairs? How did that relate to being sued? Sleepy survived, right?

I'd say you've earned the right to despise hamsters. In Florida, we have Palmetto bugs that don't bite, but they're huge with gigantic feelers. In that instance, I would choose the hamster.

Thanks for the read. I'm still laughing to myself.
