That'll teach me

See what happens when you get all cocky and make playlists and shit?

The OTHER hamster dies.

Causes, unknown.

if you look in the dictionary, the definition of hamster is "rodent with limited lifespan. will pick most inopportune time possible to croak."

i rest my case.

Good grief.

Did you walk in front of a black cat or break a hundred mirrors or something?

That just SUCKS.

Hey, there's a certain employee in my office that we can't seem to be rid of. Can he sleep over at your place?

I'm thinking if you spent 50 plus bucks at the vet, you're probably breaking down and getting a new hamster. Man that SUCKS!! Maybe you should try a gerbil this time?

Gerbils ARE tougher.
They don't scare so easily in those freaky hamster balls.

And my hamster used try suicide dives off the coffee table..did he perhaps take his own life?

was there a note?

Damn. Didn't that vet give you a 90-day warranty or anything? Scam artist.

I'm guessing death by cyanide capsule. Or perhaps an unfortunate cocktail of prescription drugs (is it too soon for that joke? Yeah? Too soon? Alright.)

What about ferrets? They are fun and feisty.

My bet is that you already have one picked out.
Or perhaps have purchased another already.
I think you'd better name the next one Lucky or you could give up small furry animals for lent(?)

My Mom would have been quite pleased if my first hamster had died quickly. She (the hamster) actually lived it's full three-year lifespan. Despite two trips down the basement stairs in the hamster ball. ;-)

That seriously sucks, though. Kiddos are suitable heartbroken?

Ugh, I'm so sorry. My vote is for a dog. Never had a hamster, but, I feel dogs are tougher.

Maybe you need something sturdier. A guinea pig? A rabbit? A Rottweiler?

Poor kids, hope their not taking it too hard!

So sorry to hear about your hamster luck. :(

You know you'll be getting another one!! Don't fight it - just buy it.

February 9, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDarla

OH MY LORD. You seriously need mice instead. They're indestructible. Not those yukky little white ones with red eyes, but sweet little brown ones or something. Also, they're cheap. And no one takes them to the vet. Just a thought.
