Operation Hamster Drop

The following story is true. Once there was a boy named Cody Christensen who wanted to get rich quick, Cody racked his brain and came up with a "brilliant" idea, hamster breeding. Seriously? Yes seriously he and a friend of his (they were about 16 or 17) bought a male and a female hamster and let them "go to work".  I remember they named the female hamster Moates which is some 80's rock name and I'm sure the male had an equally ghetto and shifty name like Gene Simmons or Axel Rose. Well, these young boys didn't read up on hamsters as much as they should have so when Moates got pregnant and had her pint sized babies they didn't take "Axel Rose" out soon enough and he ingested them. Any animal that eats their own offspring probably shouldn't exist, just sayin.....   Well this little mishap didn't stop them, no no these were persistent teenagers so they went for round two and this time they took "Gene Simmons" out at the appropriate time.  This girl Moates was carrying a grip load of baby hamsters in her womb, she had 8-10 babies and Cody thought he was a rich man for sure.  I'm going to assume that these two boys never understood supply and demand.  Cody, of course came to Kate and I and told us to spread the word, well sadly our friends wanted hamsters but their parents didn't.  Soon Cody and his friend were left with a bunch of hamsters they didn't want to take care of so they started giving them away.  Surprisingly, kids were crazy for free hamsters so they went fast, I got 1 and Kate got 2. The naming of these hamsters was difficult but I finally settled on Topanga (yes I am that awesome) and Kate named one of hers George and the other one JTT (short for Jonathon Taylor Thomas).  Holler!

Well taking care of hamsters is a lot of work so after a few months I was sick of Pangers and she was smelling up my room which I just couldn't stand for.  Cody was also sick of Moates and "Axel Rose" so he called Petsmart and asked if they wanted some more hamsters, bad news Petsmart was chuck full of hamsters so it was a no go.  Luckily, my mother had a brilliant idea which we entitled "Operation Hamster Drop." My Mom and Cody both put on large sweatshirts and stuffed our hamsters up the sleeves (no animals were injured in this process) then they walked into Petsmart and pretended like they were petting the little hamsters in the cage, while no one was looking they quickly dumped the hamsters out of their sleeves and abandoned our large towering hamsters with the babies.  Kate wasn't ready to get rid of George and JTT yet so there was actually a round II of this brilliant plan a few months later.  I'd just like to publicly thank my mom for letting go of her dignity and pride in order to make Operation Hamster Drop successful. 

P.S I love weird pictures of animals.
