    I would like that picture on one of those cheesy motivational posters, with “FUTILITY” in large type beneath it.

    “You are just a hamster in a wheel. And the wheel is too big for you anyway.”

  28. CSO says:

    Seriously Sistah, you have OUTDONE yourself. Brilliant.

  29. Subhangi says:

    Now that’s what I’d call ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.

    Awwwwwwwwwww.

  30. Nose-fur-atu says:

    Hmm, maybe this photo was taken from above, and baby hammie is actually in a translucent orange bundt cake pan, having just eaten the whole thing. Explains why he’s so drowsy.

  31. TigerZahn says:

    “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…”

  32. ihateToast says:

    so…. what i really want to know is…
    have you ever posted and giggled at your description and let just a wee bit of wee out? i’m figuring it was definitely an adult diaper moment when you did all those “doos.”

  33. s says:

    holy ****, that is so cute ….
    what next an embryo in patch of pansies?

  34. Elwin says:

    haha “Sharon you di-int” stop cracking me up like that!

  35. OhMyGosh – this *IS* a cute photo but you all *HAVE* to go see the REST of them on sharon918 flickr photo stream – there are 270 photos in the set, about 262 of them are drop dead cute!! ..and in IMHO higher up the cute quotiant than this one!

    I spend WAY too much time on this site… and now I just spent over an hour looking at all 270 of the other baby hammie photos that sharon918 has uploaded to flickr.

    If I didn’t have 2 Norwich Terriers (who would not rest until their ‘job’ was done) I would fly up to CT and get one of those cuties RIGHT now!

    Alice the Brit
    and the 2 Cute Norwich Terriers who have yet to make it up to “CuteOverload” status !!

    sleep walkin” champion!

  37. Carlisa says:

    … sleep-walking! …must find bed……

  38. Dustbunny says:

    It’s a little-known fact that most of our electrical power is generated by the valiant wheel-turning of little hammies like this one. So think of that next time you flip a light switch!

  39. Meow House says:

    I’ve been walkin’ on the wheel-road, all the live long day . . .

  40. Meow House says:

    P.S. Terpsichore, yours made me chortle.

  41. Terpsichore says:

    Woohoo!! :D

  42. Jan Spencer says:

    LOL How about…

    “Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’…don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow…” Steve Perry and Journey.

    Cute. Luv it!

  43. Theo says:

    Oh if we’re gonna keep on with the wheel lyrics, how about Earth, Wind & Fire? Old school!

    “What goes up
    “Must come down
    “Spinnin wheel
    “Got to go round…”

  44. Throbert McGee says:

    This is what happens when BAD baby hamsters die and go to Hell. Seriously, I think that all dictionaries should henceforth use this picture to illustrate the adjective “sisyphean.”

  45. wickedbored says:

    little glimpse of heaven!!! Too cute.

  46. Dustbunny says:

    Hey Theo, Blood Sweat & Tears actually did “Spinning Wheel”, not EW&F. I’m old school enough to remember that : )

  47. Theo says:

    Dustbunny — Oops, Duh, and Right.
    Sigh.

    How about “The wheels on the bus go round and round…” I think that’s about my speed right now…

  48. rainey says:

    He looks like he’s going to fall asleep any moment. Little furry bundle of LOVE.

  49. dwarf rabbit owner too! says:

    “I’ve been walkin’ on the wheel-road, all the live long day . . . “
    meowhouse that’s meowvalous!

  50. dwarf rabbit owner too! says:

    If he doesn’t get off that thing he’s going to waist away to less than 6 ounces!
    I feel sorry for this widdle fella!or is it wittle…you know carving wood kind of thing…

  51. Karl says:

    Fox & Morigale –
    Great work! (and I guess I should give credit to the original photographer too, and of course the little hamster).

    I am SO tempted to print that out and hang it in my cube!

  52. Tawny says:

    I don’t think his eyes are even open yet, what a baby.

  53. ariel says:

    what a BABY!

  54. dogsleder says:

    Yesh!! Is that his tiny tail or his left back paw??
