He's an inspiration

Henry the hamster is an inspiration to us all. This is my sister's family hamster and he is paralyzed and yet he sits next to his wheel and with just his two front feet leans over and turns that wheel as fast as he can. He may walk and fall over but he gets where he wants to go. He is sure determined. We say "If Henry can do it, I can do it." What a little trooper. WE LOVE YOU HENRY!!

That looks like something I dug out of my belly-button the other night.

We know about the bunny. We can't catch it because when we get close it dives down a drain pipe in the window well.

haha Hampton! (thats what i named him) he is hilarious. before he was injured he had a wheel that was too small for him. Brandon and I went to petsmart one night and got him a bigger one since he was expiriencing back pains from the small wheel. He ran and ran on his new wheel all day and all night. Now, even though he has more injuries he is still going at it, even though its only with the front feet. Love ya hampton, youre amazing.
