Shit!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about that, Michelle. If it's any consolation, Janiece was probably too busy wondering why there was a hamster wearing a tutu where I imagine the sofa usually is to notice you crouching behind it. And to answer the obvious question of why I'm imagining a hamster in a tutu: it takes <I>hamster ballet</I>, sheesh. I would have thought the slippers would have been a clue. And if you're wondering why the hamster in a tutu wearing ballet slippers on his paws is just sitting there sniffing the air curiously, well, <I>duh</I>, he just started and he isn't very good yet, and he doesn't like practicing while everybody's staring at him.<BR/><BR/>Now, stand up, Michelle. And yes, you can hold him, just be gentle when you pick him up.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-71917462636671963512009-03-08T19:38:00.000-06:002009-03-08T19:38:00.000-06:00(gasp)Janiece?
