How awesome is this news story, about an ingenious solution to a turtle's tragically lost front legs? Is anyone else wishing you could mount a few more on the back and have a game of shuffleboard? No, just me? Okay.
On another injured leg front: Boodle's hamster has joined his brother in being differently-abled. Somehow after we returned, Hamilton suffered a broken rear right leg, and it has healed into a sideways facing position. Just like his brother Max, he is destined to discover that adversity breeds... well, laughter I guess, because it's insanely funny to watch him attempt to scratch behind his right ear, only to have is leg flail wildly at his side.
I know, I shouldn't laugh. How insensitive. But I DO scratch that spot for him when I notice.
Think we could rig some kind of prosthetic up for him? We DO have a lot or random Lego pieces laying around...

3 of you HAD to say...:
Oh my gosh, I shouldn't laugh either, but that was too funny! When I pictured that poor hamster trying to scratch his ear, well, I almost lost coffee out my nose.
P.S. Since I'm already going to h.e.double l. for laughing at the hamster, I might as well join you for shuffleboard.
Oh your poor hamsters. How did you end up with hamsters that manage to break themselves? I had hamsters for years and they never did anything that stupid. Congrats on that one! Although I'm with Dawn, I did laugh when I pictured the poor guy trying to scratch his ear.
I think I need photos of your weird hamsters. lol
And that turtle story is AWESOME!
