Hey Doggies, for those of you who know about the chinese zodiac, the Year of the Hammie is coming soon. I know that it'll be very appealing to buy hammies or mice or gerbil to keep or give as gifts as they are really cute and the prices are not expensive.
But before you go get that hammie, please stop to think if you are able to commit first. Even for a small animal like a hammie, there still is alot of things you have to be responsible for, for it's well being. Please read this to check if you are ready for a pet.
And no matter what animal you have gotten this year (hammie or dog or cat), please be a good owner by not abandoning your pet. The poor animal have little chance of surviving if you throw it out.
So stop and think first before you go get that new pet ok.
It's not a bad item to get a cute stuffy instead if you can't afford the time to commit to a real pet.
Remember, a pet is for life (photo taken from ava website)
PS, we have a new DWB birthday/event calender, go here to see the details

Thank you for thinking about all of us! We are the lucky ones who have loving homes. We don't think Eil will ever abandon you but, if she does, you can come live with us. Besides, you won't want to be around when Opy opens that can of Whoopa$$ on anyone who abanadons a pet.

You're absolutely right, Girl Girl! People often get pets without actually knowing what they require, and that's really sad!

That is true Girl Girl. There was this advertisement on TV for a bank and they showed that the credit card could buy many gifts for our loved ones. One of the so called gifts was a basket of cute puppies. How horrible! Doesn't seem to be driving home the right message huh?
This is a great post. We hope that everyone will get the message that you are sending.
Love

You're a good spokeshammie, GG! You are sooo right! Don't get a pet if you can't take care of one or if you're not that interested in it in the 1st place.
Love licks,

Very good advice Girl girl. Even little hammies need lots of care and attention.

Girl Girl!
That is a great public service announcement and a good reminder. I can't imagine Eil ever thinking of throwing YOU out! She loves you so much.
You know, my hooman girl has thought about getting a hammie, but knows that with hairy Stanley & I, and especially Merv, she didn't think it would be a good idea. So, we watch you instead.
Goobery love & kissies,

What a nice post, GG! You are so right. Mom said she heard on the news today that many animal shelters are feeling the mortgage foreclosures as people abandon their pets when they have to leave their house. That is so sad.
Very good information!
