    Today I bought 2 winter white "female" hamsters at Petco. The agouti colored female (for sure female) is jumpy and very vocal. The *ahm* now-apparent male platinum/pearl has been living with the other 3 females in the cage at Petco for at least one day. That's all I'm sure of. (I'm going to...

    Hi guys. I just woke up for school and apparently I slept through quite an ordeal last night. Gidget is my almost 7 month old chihuahua.

  13. Vents and Rants
    LOL:giggle: How would giving to PETA have, in any way, prevented this? Giving to PETA doesn't help animals, ...it helps the money machine that is PETA. PETA kills animals, and throws their bodies in public dumpsters. bob
