Post Good and sad news.

We might as well start of with the sad news.
Jasper has passed away he was about 1 1/2 but I never really knew exactly how old he was the vet said it was a natural death as I had him checked to
see if it was anything bad but he just said it was natural

As for the good ish news:

I got a call this morning from a woman that would not tell me who she was or
even where she was she sounded quite distraught, she said that the man who
owned Moon's pet shop also had a private collection of hamsters that had
been rescued and that there was a lot of hamsters that needed adopting.

But that because of the amount there they only had enough for all of the
hamsters but one and that they where going to put that one down.

At that point in the conversation she hung up on me. @.@

So there I was still half asleep at 9am with a hamster that seemed to be in a
dire situation......

Come 10am I decided that I had the room and if I did nothing I would be
guilty the rest of my life.

So of I went yet again x.x

When I go there I could see there where a lot of hamsters and that they
where being well cared for. One hamster was in a cage that still had tags on it
and looked like it had been taken out of there little shop completely different
to the other well used cages.

I did ask a member of staff and they said that that one will most likely be
taken to another shelter as it did not get along with the others at all and
there was no more space for it and they could only have a certain amount at
one time....

When I said that I could take that one as I was looking for a hamster her
attitude changed COMPLEATLY and I was showered in "thank you so much!"
and "are you sure" and "you have saved us a lot of effort".

When she put "him" in the carry cage I had brought and went back to the little
shop aria with the till, the shop had about three members of staff in it she
said rather loudly "she would like this one".

Another staff member said " I am so glad you got that one" and another
said "Don't tell the boss I gave you this" as she handed me a Burgess bag of
herbs. @.@

So now I have a new hamster with some new treats. boy todays been just one
of "those" mornings

Also when I got back he is actually a she.

I will post some pictures later right now I don't want to stress her out.

As for that phone call and weather or not she was ever in any real danger....
I'm not sure but at least now I know she is safe.
