Alexandra loves animals. She even went so far as to write a book called Beware Dobermanns, Donkeys and Ducks. She cares for many, many animals in her home.
In my life I have cared for four animals: one beta fish, two goldfish, and a Siberian dwarf hamster named Mario. I named him Mario because I'd recently gotten Nintendo. At night, Mario would spend hours banging at the metal cover of the little sanctuary at the top of his cage. I loved Mario, but I could never shake the feeling that he was miserable.
She's still pretty hot.

i used to have a boyfriend named Mario
ReplyDeleteI had 2 hamsters. One, Ziggy because he had a zig-zag mark on his back. The other, Bubbles because he had a giant caboose. I never really felt badly for them because they got to tool all around the house in their plastic bubbles (I wished I had one) and then there was the time that they pushed on the roof of their cage, chewed threw the dryer vent, and escaped to the recesses of the basement. I think each lived as full a life as can be expected of a hamster. I feel badly for Mario, though. It sounds like he might have benefited from having a friend to help him escape.
ReplyDeleteDear Gina,
ReplyDeleteMy two goldfish were named Zig and Zag. That's how they swam.
Dear AnnaBanAnna,
Was he a Siberian dwarf hamster alive in the early 90s?

A little backstory about Mario the Siberian Dwarf Hamster. Mario escaped from his cage in the summer of 1991. He was never seen again. Adam's parents had a squeaky dryer in their basement and everytime the dryer was on Adam would think was trapped in there. I think he even paused a game of Lakers vs. Celtics to check a few years later.
ReplyDeleteI love this story. I hope Adam's taking notes. I think the misadventure of Mario, the Siberian Dwarf Hamster, would make an awesome children's book.
