That no one knew about ..and no one ever saw..How cool would that be!! Just think ..It would never go extinct or owt!

Anyway..On sunday,Whilst housesitting..I made a shocking discovery!One of the hamster's was not in it's cage..I dipped my hand cautiously in to the vast amount's of shredded paper...poking around trying to feel for it..No luck..

Panic starts to come in waves..I pace the room..

Think woman! It can't be far,Surely!Shit..Where's the cat!

Pull out the sofa..TV cabinet..Bookcase..Shake the cat.. Nothing!

I give up ..Sealing the living room off like a crime scene as I go..If it's in there,It aint getting out..Right?

Try to sleep but have images of it gnawing away at my face as I sleep..Can they climb stairs? And how am I gonna get outta this one..

"Sorry..Ive lost ya hamster..Ohh...Ya sky's not working?..Ummm..Maybe it's chewed through the wiring or something"

Anyway..To cut a very long story short..My well rehearsed speech..Full of .."But I am really sorry..I just dunno how it got out" ..Was met with laughter..

You see..there was no hamster in the cage! I had been dropping peices of apple..And plump juicy raisens into an empty fucking cage!! It had died the week before and as not to upset the kids..He'd not told them..Or me for that matter! At least I did'nt lose it.. :))
