Hamster Ball races!!!

b


Saturday we headed down to Petco for the annual Hamster Ball races. Our Annie was in the first heat. She won by a mile. She just took off while this Teddy Bear Hamster, dwarf hamster and gerbil just hung out in their balls, frozen by the excitement. Patty was in the 3rd heat. She was in the lead when she just stopped with only two inches of track to go! Luckily, every other hamster in the race stopped, too. Kevin snapped his fingers in front of her ball, which almost made her go the other way (Nooooo!!), but just as the judge was ready to start them all over - she ran to the end. So, of the 12 small rodents, both our girls were in the finals. Annie took off again and won second place by an inch. Patty came in third because the fourth hamster never moved. It was a dalmation hamster and the cutest thing you ever saw. Kevin swears the winner "bowled" his hamster ball and Annie should have won.
