I haven't posted in quite awhile (I have been lurking, just never had enough time to post). Early July I was working at a Ranch Camp and I got a phone call from my mom (who was looking after my hams). She said that Darko looked very sick and she wanted me to come see him. I drove the 20 minutes and took the 15 minute ferry to get back home, and by the time I got there, my old friend had passed away.
RIP my darling Darko. We went through a lot together, and you are still missed.

So sad that you didn't make it home in time to be part of Darko's last moments--but you tried your best.
Rest peacefully, Darko.

Wow that's pretty good for a hamster, kudos to you Dez for keeping him that long! By the way, and this is just out of curiosity, but how did you call him Darko when he's light colored? He was cute.

Four??  I hope you have a birth certificate for that (which is more than Obama has! ;D ).  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko I guess he was named after that well-known thriller. |

Darko was named after Donnie Darko in the movie. It's one of my favourites... (the sequel was horrid, don't bother watching it) That's why I didn't worry about his colouring. I kind of liked the irony of it as well.

When the Marxist and possible illegal alien in the White House finally produces his real birth certificate AND produces his medical and college records to prove he never claimed to be a foreign student - then I may call him President. Even then, he may not be Constitutionally eligible depending on his parents' status, and his becoming an Indonesian citizen - his real name is Barry Soetoro. He has spent well over a million dollars fighting every law suit in the country demanding to see proof he is eligible to be President and to see the other records. No one does that - unless hiding something. And he is spending campaign contributions to finance that legal obstructionism which are unaccounted for and secret, and probably foreign - another violation. But as Barry would say, I guess I am all "Wee Weed Up".  That's what he said about Washington a few days ago. www.obamacrimes.com/ |
