Imagine my shock when, about 18 months later, the very-much-not-dead hamster ran across the kitchen floor during dinner. Damn thing had gained weight. She put in a few more appearances over the next few years, and apparently lived to a ripe old age.

Oh, that is so so funny. We had a hamster who used to climb to the top of the "wheel" thing inside the cage, hang onto the cage cover with his little paws and then push the cover off. He'd zoom through the baseboard heating things at 4 am and everyone would wake up and Dad would be running around in underwear with holes in it trying to find (and kill) Sammy. Ah, the good old days.
Since we're on the topic of dying/dead pets, I have a friend who is ruined because she left the hamster cage on top of a space heater in the basement and later found him cooked.
I can't believe The Onion did this piece on a Viet Nam adoption. Things have changed attitude wise, but there are still people like this out there of course:
