Chinese Dwarf Hamsters Guest Blog

We have two guest bloggers: Ruby and Rebekah. They are nice Chinese Dwarf Hamsters. Read what they have to say below. Above is a picture of them. Don't ask me which is which, I'm just a dog not a veterinarian. Ruby's text is in Bold while Rebekah's is italicized.
********************************************************************

HI I'M RUBY AND THIS IS MY TWIN SISTER REBEKAH. WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABO......

RUBY, YOU HOPPED ON THE CAPS LOCK THINGY. IT WILL MAKE EVERYONE FEEL LIKE YOU ARE YELLING.

THAT'S DUMB. I AM AN ITTY-BITTY HAMSTER. HOW CAN I YELL? I JUST MAKE CUTE LITTLE SQUEAKS AND CHIRRUPS.

RUBY…………...FDGJHJOjfghiuhs. there, i fixed it. go on typing, the people will be awake soon.

um, ok, whatever. what was i talking about?

you were telling the computer world about us.

gotcha. i'll start over. hi, I'm ruby and this is my twin sister, rebekah. we had another sister, but they didn't bring her home with us.

nope. Left poor ole mavis back at the pet store.

(a moment of silence for poor ole mavis…)

anyway, we live here in our lovely glass castle nest in the people's big house. the people give us nummies and treats and soft bedding and fun places to hide. they also give us our beloved wheel-of-excess-energy-dispersion and the bottle of water-that-never-ends.

...and they also wake us up in the middle of the day to talk to us and flash bright lights at us and destroy our nest in the castle and pour in new, scratchy bedding and tubes and talk to us in baby voices.

do we have an attitude today, rebekah? hmmmmmm?

me? attitude? just let one of those hands come in here and chase me down today. i'll show my "attitude" with a big ole chomp out of one of those fingers!

rebekah. tsk.tsk. first of all, the hands are quite nice. at least, i think they are, once i'm fully awake. they hold us so gently and i love it when the finger strokes the top of my head. second of all, those are the proverbial hands that feed us; you're not supposed to bite them. thirdly, your mouth is so tiny that i doubt they even notice it when you do bite them.

since when do you know any proverbs?

sheesh. if you're going to be a crab, rebekah, why don't you just go back to bed?

i think i will. but i don't know if i'll be able to sleep.

why not? our nest is perfectly warm and snuggly and comfortable.

exactly! and you know what that means!

um…*scratch*scratch* ok, bek, what does it mean?

the people will probably "clean" it today. they'll steal all our food stashes and scrub away our marked spots and destroy our cozy home! we'll have to start all over from scratch. again! *sniffle*

oh. bummer. you're right.

(a moment of silence for the sure-to-be-destroyed cozy home.)

but wait, bek… I know how we can pay them back for all that stress!

*sniffle* You do? How?

we'll send all this typing we're doing to that dog, euri. if he'll put it on his blog, then the whole world will know the trauma we chinese dwarfs have to go through every couple of weeks.

ooooooo. and won't the big female human be surprised when she sees us online? and won't they all be puzzled and confused when they see the computer on in the morning, even though they're sure they turned it off?

...and the lid off our castle?

..and the crumbs on the keyboard?

heh-heh-heh!

ok, so how do i put those photos on here?

I think you just drag them from the desktop to the email with the mouse.

(hop) THE MOUSE????????????

I'm Looking for Guest Bloggers!

A few months ago, my mommy and daddy offered to dog-sit a Shih Tzu for the weekend. It turned into a fiasco because the dog had fleas and the owners never told my parents. But before mommy and daddy learned about the dog's flea problem, they learned that I was a jealous and needy dog.

I hated the attention they showed to the Shih Tzu and I acted like a spoiled brat who had sibling rivalry. Whenever mommy tried to pet the Shih Tzu, I would maneuver my way under her hand so she could pet me instead. Mommy said I was being selfish, so in an attempt to be less selfish, I'm going to allow guest bloggers on my blog.

So what do you have to do to be my guest blogger?

Well, you have to be an animal of course - any type of animal is fine, I don't discriminate - and you have to e-mail me your article. My e-mail address is EuritheDog@yahoo.com. Don't forget to send a photo of yourself too!
