Black hamster, black humour

[bugshaw]

Revel had been unwell for the last few days. The rescue centre gave her that name when she came in after the chocolates, where "you never know what you're going to get inside" - on that first day it was a peanut in each cheek pouch. On Wednesday it was a boil which they lanced; she perked up a lot overnight and came home on Thursday with delicious banana flavoured antibiotics. For a brief moment I thought that vetinary science had given the 2-year old hamster another 6 months on the clock, but by the next day we were back at the vet. Probably heart failure from the anaesthetic, but they felt another mass in her abdomen. Maybe it was a peanut. Go out as you came in, little hamster.

Aw, going to the big cage in the sky. May there now be infinte supplies of all the best snacks, not just peanuts and bananas.

I think there are special, better snacks, that you can only get in sky cages. Maybe skyberries which are as juicy as raspberries, taste of banana peanut butter, have an interesting crunch to them and don't stain your fur.

And extra large cheek pouches that are never too full!

Aww. does this mean the little hamster now gets the giant cage?

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

I thought about it (lots more space!) but it has a wire mesh lid, and if Humphrey did make it up to the roof he could easily escape through the gaps. Best not to risk it...

Bugger, I'm sorry :(
