Hamventure

It all started one spring morning when young Hamkid set off in search of new adventures.


It didn’t take long before Hamkid was slightly startled by a Gentle Giant.


Oh please don’t eat me Gentle Giant!


To his great surprise the Gentle Giant gently set Hamkid upon its knee and offered him a snack.


It was then Hamkid understood the Gentle Giant was also young and looking for new adventures.

Hamkid realised out of all the adventures he could have, none would be as great as sharing them with a giant friend!

So they headed off together, to see what more was waiting for them over the horizon.


Boog and Hannah W. were last seen gadding about somewhere in Wisconsin!

      I was gonna say: The only thing that could improve The Adventures of Hamkid would be handknit socks.

    What a great story, and a great ham-ham!

    Also, I never knew that people said “gadding about” anywhere but where I live down in the islands.

      Oh, yes, I (a New Englander) gad about all the time! I never considered that there were places that didn’t say “gadding about.”

        Me, I like to gaily gad about, a la “Teddy Bears’ Picnic”.

        See them gaily gad about,
        They love to laugh and shout,
        They never have any cares….

        That’s me, yup, every day of my life.

    CO, not every post needs to be written like a little kid’s story. Just sayin’. Variety being the spice of life and all.

    I’ve had hammies as a kid and loved them a lot but I must confess that their little beedy black eyes have always freaked me out a little.

  11. Calling Pixar!

  12. Bettymouse says:

    Awww! I want to go on a hamventure with this little guy!

  13. How has this hamster stayed so close to its gentle giant friend? If I had a hamster and put him in the grass like that he would have bolted!! Also, how has no one else wondered this and posted?

    • Jennifer says:

      I’m thinking the exact same thing. That if I put a hamster down in the great outdoors, he would be gone and I would never see him again.
