RIP Snowball - a tribute to her life

hello everyone,
unfortunately, i have some very sad news.
I could tell yesterday that she wasnt't well ( refusing to eat,drink,do anything other than sit with eyes shut)
but even so it was a nasty surprise to find she had died today.

Snowball played an important part in the posts of this blog, ever since she first appeared on the blog,
on 05/11/2013 ( click to go to that post ) She was a very happy little hamster and has never been bad-tempered to me or my sister, even when she didn't fancy getting her picture taken.

Snowbi had a good life and was 2 4/5 years old when she died. She was a wonderful little hamster and had a good life.

below i have put links to some of the posts Snowbi appeared in and some pictures of her from my computer.

 this photo is of Snowbi when she was a young hamster- only a few months old! Didn't she look so adorable?

Snowbi enjoying some playtime with my sister.

 Snowbi again - 1 year older.

 Snowbi celebrating her first birthday!
( well, it was more of an anniversary - we were never told Snowball's birthday so we celebrated it on august 16th - the day we bought her from the pet shop )















This is Snowbi, a lot older, 2 1/2 years old.

in my opinion, this is one of the best pictures I have ever taken of Snowbi.








here is Snowbi again, when she was young and lively.

One of Snowball's favourite toys was her hamster ball and she never got bored of it, even if it did look like a tangerine...












overall, Snowball's life was a happy one. She loved her life and i think thats why she lived longer than an average dwarf hamster ( average life span of dwarf hamster - 1 year - 1 yr 1/2 )

RIP Snowball - rest in peace 

bye for now,

HIFA world cup!

Hi everyone,

its been a long time since i last posted but now i have a bit more time
on my hands hopefully I'll be able to blog more frequently.

but anyway, it's the world cup
and I have organised a penalty shoot-out for Peanut and Snowbi*
They will do their Penalty-shoot outs separate from each other,
so they don't fight. Snowbi* is on first,

yes Snowbi*! good luck scoring!
shoot Snowbi!                                            

What? Snowbi! that's against the rules!
You R NOT allowed to eat the ball! red card!

Snowbi, that is not how you score a goal,
you have to steer the ball into the goal to score, not you!

ah! runaway hamster! Snowbi, you are disqualified!
you have automatically lost the match if Peanut scores a goal.
 How do you feel about you losing the match?

















Peanuts turn now!

she shoots....

















SHE SCORES!!!! AND WHAT A GOAL!

So Peanut, how does it feel to have won?

here are the official HIFA results :
( Hamster International Football Association )
Peanut : 1  Snowball : 0 ( disqualified )

thats all this week, i'll be back next week with a new post!

* Snowbi = one of Snowball's 8 nicknames.
