Having a BAD day

Love it

say it died heroically on an expedition.

Just a thought, HTH.

Don't let your wife see you do that.

For entertainment, you could dip it in water, blow dry it so the fur is still a little damp but spiky, and place it in the freezer. Fashion a tiny pair of 'polar explorer' goggles for effect, and say it died heroically on an expedition.

Just a thought, HTH.

I'm pretty sure that's the only time I've ever LOL'ed at a post on this forum.

Pretty close i'd guess. Although he did promise to reveal his true opinions of those on this board as well.

But not for the hamster though

But not for the hamster though

Age shall not weary it, nor the years condemn.

It shall not grow old as those that are left grow old.

But it's still handy for a party trick or two - why not involve the kids and make it a family activity dressing the frozen wee spiky beast as different characters? Try 'snow queen of Narnia' with an origami crown for starters. Take some pictures, make a website...

Plan B anyone?

Am staying at the wife's place this week looking after the pets, and sod's law, one of the little critters has gone and pegged it. My youngest daughter's hamster, called Midnight.

Found it on the bottom of its cage this morning, barely breathing. Took it to the vet, where they said the only thing they could do would be to put it down. Which they did. And it cost me £20.

All in all, not a good start to the day. And it's getting worse...

I am very sorry to hear that. The kids Hamster (lovely tinky) died a few months ago. They took it very well. Thankfully none of them have asked why it had a relatively short life (only 10 months old)

To this day I still laugh when I think about my old man confessing to killing my hamster. Apparently he was in the lounge watching telly when what he thought was a mouse sneaked past in his peripheral vision. Apparently he took to it with his shoe creating an unholy mess, i.e. an open casket would not have been an option. When my old lady realised and informed him he had killed my hamster he was distraught. I think I'd forgotten about it a week after he told me it died of old age.
