Hamster Thingies

One of the students showed up today with a tiny yellow plastic bag containing two tiny hamsters (or some other tiny Korean rodent things). Gwen and I felt so sorry for them - who the hell walks around with tiny, cute, fuzzy, LIVING things in PLASTIC BAGS? Can anyone say "death is coming"? Well, no physical harm - we found a box, and Gwen shredded some newspaper and cut up an apple. Hopefully the adorable little ratlets have a fighting chance now that they're no longer in immediate danger of suffocation.

That's a quarter of an apple there,
so you can see how tiny they are.

well, the next day gwen asked the kid if they were OK, and he said yes, and that his mom was going to let him keep them (apparently they were a spur of the moment purchase), although we haven't heard/asked since. (don't want to hear any depressing news, you know)
