shirley!!!

so my husband and i were in petsmart last night getting kritter keepers for the crested baby boom and we passed by the small mammal display. one of the hamsters came running to the front of her cage and litterally danced on one foot trying to climb the glass like she was saying "pick me! pick me!" talk about the cutest thing i've ever seen. of course the husband was like, no, we have to stick to the budget, we already have too many critters, etc, etc.

well, when we get home and he says, "we could name her shirley." whaaaaat? well needless to say i put it out of my mind because we are trying to stick to a budget just paid rent and whatnot. so as i was washing one of the new kritter keepers i discover that one of them was broken. blast!

well this morning my husband snuck the broken kritter keeper out on his way to work and at lunch went to petsmart and exchanged it for shirley! so not like him, but even he couldn't resist that cute little face. :P

okay, okay, i'll stop talking now and show you what you really came here to see. :D

she has the shortest little nose i have ever seen on a hamster. she is absolutely hilarious! :pinkele:

How could anyone say no to that face!!!:bubbles:

OHmygosh! The forum has been awash in TOO CUTE lately! We're all gonna need to make extra trips to the dentist!


That's such a cool story! Maybe I'll try and figure a way to sneak that story into my crestie schemes. VERY VERY sweet hamster!

aaagh! i have to go to the dentist tomorrow morning! i hate the dentist!

i guess it serves me right though seeing as how i've been the source of at least a little of the cuteness.... :P

I'm not a real hamster person but thats a really cute hamster!

I also usually think hamsters are nasty little things.. but Shirley is just ADORABLE! Perfect name too!

generally speaking i'm not crazy about hamsters either, but i had one years ago that was the sweetest little thing that ever walked the face of the earth and i really didn't think i'd ever get another hamster after her. it took a while, but i'd say i've found a pretty darn good follow-up! :)

How could you resist, what a cutie! Hamsters can be real nippy lil boogerheads but I had one a few years back too that was Miss Personality plus. Loved sweet tea so much I eventually got her a little cup all for herself (hamster drool in my tea cup was just not going over well LOL).

Sooo cute! That face is to die for.

Wow, she really is cute! That first picture is priceless
