Hamsters!

I got the crap scared out of me last night. I was sitting on my bed finishing up the first Harry Potter book when i catch something small and brown surrying across my floor out of the corner of my eye. When I look over, I see ChunkyButt, my hamster. It took me a few seconds to react because I was caught so off guard. I jumped off my bed and rushed over to my closet door, where Chunky was sniffing around. He started to waddle back to my door and I thought he was going to squeeze under my door before I had a chance to catch him. Fortunately for me, he's not the brightest creature on this planet. About a foot from the door, he stops. I take advantage of his pause and I hurry up and grab him. He didn't put up a fight or anything... He must have been ready to go back to his cage. When I got to his cage, I discovered that I had left the door of the cage open. It never occured to me that they could get out because the opening is at the top of the cage... I guess I was wrong on that one!
I have enough hamsters getting out of cages and disappearing, and I don't need to start helping them. I guess I should be more careful... Never underestimate the power of a stupid hamster!

Duh!! Hamsters may be retarded but that doesn't mean they can't figure out how to climb out of an open cage. No matter how fat they are.
