I found my hamster!

It took awhile for it to dig out from all that snow, but I got it back!

Antlers

Call to vet clinic:

Me: You know those fake reindeer antlers that people put on their pets?

Receptionist: Yes.

Me: Do you make those in hamster size?

Receptionist: Hold on, I'll get the vet for you.

Snow sculpture

Call to vet: I want to make a snow sculpture of my hamster. How long can I keep my hamster outside before it freezes?

Vet: Take it inside when you see its lips turn blue.

Gas

Call to Vet: "My hamster has gas; can I relieve it by squeezing it? Mainly I want to know whether it will go "ppbbththth" or "POP!"

Vet: "Just don't use your car tires to do the squeezing."

Amnesia?

My hamster doesn't seem to recognize its name. I think it might have amnesia.

Nightmare

Whoa. I had a nightmare where I couldn't find my hamster and then in walks my cat wearing a single fur slipper on his hind foot. I still have to keep telling myself it was just a dream.

Ok.

Ok.

I'm going to check again just to make sure.

Nail Polish

Call to Vet: I want to get my hamster some nail polish (CLEAR - nothing gaudy). Can you recommend a brand that has been tested on animals?



Vet: If you want to really polish the nails use a dremel tool. It works on the tip of tail, too.
