Aw. But the first thing you should do is find a clover with four leaves, little hammie!

2 Anne O'Nimitz 01.30.08 at 4:35 pm

Lucky lil d00d! Alas…to have such a big clover to *NOM* upon…

3 Madison 01.30.08 at 4:35 pm

That is so cute! I have a hamster that looks just like that! I wish it would do the same thing with a four leaf clover. It might bring me some luck too!

4 Patricia 01.30.08 at 4:40 pm

9 katerpie 01.30.08 at 4:54 pm

*peering over spectacles* It appears this is some sort of indoor tree/ham encounter, ceejoe!

10 Hon Glad 01.30.08 at 4:57 pm

Ah bejasus would you look at that. Now be trying Murphys Stout a better pint.

11 Nancy 01.30.08 at 4:59 pm

Be gosh and be golly –
May the wheel rise up to meet you,
May your tail be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your whiskers
And the grain fall softly on your dish
And until we meet again, May your person hold
you in the hollow of his hand

12 Jorden 01.30.08 at 5:09 pm

The cutest picture ever has been found.
Lordy.

13 ThreeCatNight 01.30.08 at 5:23 pm

How about “Ham O’Shanter”?

14 MandaBain 01.30.08 at 5:24 pm

I need luck too! Just found out we’re pregnant <8-p Should I eat a clover too? Maybe I'll have cravings ;-)

Those are the cutest little hammy-hands I’ve ever seen!

15 Lizzy 01.30.08 at 5:28 pm

I could use a bit of luck (waiting to hear about a job interview), perhaps Mr. Shammypants here can lend me some of his?

20 Gillian 01.30.08 at 6:10 pm

I want a COXCU on this one, too!

The muzzlepouch! The greenery!

The cute!

21 Holy Cuteness 01.30.08 at 6:12 pm

Luck fellah!

22 Lizzums 01.30.08 at 6:14 pm

MandaBain, Congratulations! May the luck of the irish be with you (and the wee one) always.

23 charliewabba 01.30.08 at 6:16 pm

Nancy, you ROCK!
this is too perfect.

24 Creepy Sheep 01.30.08 at 6:18 pm

O’Hamstey, surely? Hammy O’Hamstey, maybe…

25 berthaslave 01.30.08 at 6:23 pm

I believe the critter should be named Hamish McCute.

26 Nancy 01.30.08 at 6:45 pm

Irelands poster boy for “Hamnesty International”

sorry, I can’t get over this pic!

27 MandaBain 01.30.08 at 7:02 pm

Thanks Lizzy & Lizzums! (yall aren’t twins?) I love all things Irish, though neither hubby or I have much in our ancestry…and I’ll take all the Irish luck we can get (and prayers ;-)

28 Annie 01.30.08 at 7:17 pm

Hmmm guiness drenched clover. Hamster delicacy yummm

29 Peg of Tilling 01.30.08 at 7:45 pm

31 Marianne 01.30.08 at 8:13 pm

great picture!!

32 hey-h 01.30.08 at 8:30 pm

I would just like to point out, a safe amount of time later, how cleverly I worked the f-word into my post up there. I was wayyy too proud of myself for thinking of that.

33 zeldapie 01.30.08 at 9:22 pm

Yay! Great COXCU!!!

34 boomer 01.30.08 at 9:22 pm

Looks like his wee little fingernails are painted!

35 emily 01.30.08 at 9:24 pm

36 brinnann 01.30.08 at 10:06 pm

*head tilt* They really look more like handsies than pawsies.

37 brinnann 01.30.08 at 10:06 pm

hey-h: How very clover, I mean clever of you!

38 Theo 01.30.08 at 10:12 pm

Hey-H — I didn’t miss that.
Smug.

39 berthaslave 01.30.08 at 10:23 pm

What f-word? (Puzzled, and upset because I usually get that sort of thing).

40 hey-h 01.30.08 at 10:26 pm

Shoulda known I couldn’t get that past you, Theo. Read the bleen, Berthaslave.

[Snicker! - Ed.]

41 ShinyHappyGoth 01.30.08 at 11:32 pm

That’s not clover, it’s wood sorrel.

42 noofs 01.30.08 at 11:35 pm

I have a little girl hamster named Clover. If she steals McHamstersons’ treat, does that make her a cannibal?

43 Gillian 01.31.08 at 12:52 pm

YAY!!!

Thanks for the COXCU!!

Made my day!!! :D

44 hey-h 01.31.08 at 2:25 pm

Heh.

45 Subhangi 02.01.08 at 10:27 am

Awwwwww, it’s a Handful O’ Ham! I can picture him with a little green buckled hat, doing a happy little jig. (And yes, the red hair’s a bonus!)

46 Serena 02.02.08 at 9:12 am

Whatta shot!
