Meet Artie

[dreamtree1234]

HeeheeHEE. . . I'm sure that there will be a very long hammy line awaiting to purchase that amazing calendar of handsome, hunky Artie showing off his muscles and extra white floofiness that he acquired during the last few months, lol. Wow, the before and after pictures are SO strikingly different; he almost doesn't look like the same hammy. Maybe he is going incognito with his new and revised hammy disguise so he won't be spotted by all those adoring ham lady-fans. It's amazing how our sweeties change in such a short amount of time; thankfully, you still have your previous pics to look at and compare them. Regardless of which appearance he is sporting at the time, Artie sure is one charming ham-guy with a humorous personality to keep us all thoroughly entertained.

Love these photos of Artie at his beach. The photo of Artie lounging on his deck chair has to be my favourite - he looks very relaxed whilst enjoying his treat!
Wow! I hadn't realised that Artie colour had changed although he still looks very handsome!

[Thin Lizzy]

WOW, Artie you've changed so much but, still so very cute, adorable, round and squishy.
Ooh an Artie calendar would so make me swoon lol!
I used to have one of those deck chairs years back, I wish I'd kept it.

Artie sure has the totally relaxed and chilled out look down pat. I think he is just too hilarious as he sunbathed in his lounge chair. I don't think I ever saw a hammy with that pose before, lol. Eros wouldn't even consider staying in that position from more than a millisecond. Aww, what a wonderful life with absolutely no cares in the world Artie has going for him. He has a luxurious beach resort and excellent, lounge chair service for his treats. I wish they sold mini lounge chairs like that in the U.S., but I think Eros would only use it to gain extra height for her next crazy stunt, lol. Btw, Thin Lizzy, I wish that you kept yours, too. I would love to see what Master Harvey would do with it, lol.

I could never mind seeing photos of Artie again
The comparison photos are amazing, such a change in colour but somehow you can still see it's Artie in both, he's one of a kind what ever colour he may be1

[dreamtree1234]

I think that it is the oh so fabulous little glint in his eye and the charismatic, humorous personality that oozes out of him. Cypher stated it perfectly; ". . . he's one of a kind whatever colour he may be!". He never ceases to amuse me and make me all giddy inside. I love this little floofy so, SO. . . . much!!!

[Thin Lizzy]

If you look at the pic of the truly wonderful Artie lying/posing in his deckchair he looks as though he's laughing. He sure is unique.

[dreamtree1234]

He certainly does have the hugest grin on his face in that pic for sure, lol. I think it's quite hysterical that one of his legs are resting on the fabric portion of the deck chair; whereas, the other is propped on the wooden side of it. He sure knows how to make himself right at home and thoroughly get oh so comfy, doesn't he?

[Thin Lizzy]

Ever since Artie declared his love for Zen, he seems to ooze when posing.
His little gorgeous legs are funny where they're placed on the deckchair.
Plus being known as the frogham has also made his character ooze.

Hahaha thank you all, Artie really is quite a unique character anyway that's for sure

I think his fur colour must have changed quite gradually as I didn't even realise myself how much it had changed until I looked back at his old photos.

In that deckchair pic he only sat still for about 2 seconds (just long enough to eat a mealworm ). He kind of fell back in to that position when he was standing up begging for a mealworm. The pic was quite blurry, the camera on my phone takes about 3 days to focus so way too long for a hamster to sit still, but I had to post it anyway because it was so funny

He loves Zen very much and he was very sad to hear about her kidney problems this morning when I told him. He would like to request a trip on the ham jet to visit her
