SQUEEEEEEE. Prosh feet, tiny face - too too cute. This is a Rule of Cuteness all by itself.
*Definitely* allergy season from hell - and I'm on the Other Coast!
Any paw-over-the-nose pose is always cute, whether it's a hamster sneeze, or a kitty snooze.
That hammy is NOT sneezing. There is a full-on dalek behind her ex-ter-min-at-ing.... she's taking cover!!! where's dr who???
OHhhhh my goodness! This has got to be the cutest picture of a hampster everrr!!! Sooo polite, covering his nose!! Squee!!!
But soooooo cute. just like my old sweetie fatrascal...
You know her paws are going about 50 miles a minute...
(Theo? Anybody? Animation?)
My personal take: he/she is meditating, lost in thought.
so i usually have a thing against hamsters after a tragic hammy- crawled -his -way- up- my-sweater accident in high school that caused a very embarassing moment that my poor 14 year old self never forgot. 10 years later, this little dude just won me over;-) too cute:)
Ahhh, I want to have a hamster again ! My lovely Zoe died last year after 3 beautiful years of our friendship together ! :(
Poor hammy has the snifles?
Nooo!
This is the tiniest Buddha I've ever seen.
"Dear Lord, for the kibble we are about to receive, we thank you..."
"...98, 99, 100. Ready or not, here I come!"
(hammy hide'n'seek)
D'awwwwwwww! Whiskers pointing down!
omg - this web site has made me a hammie lover 4 ever!
AuntieM -- I was going to say, "Now I lay me down to sleep..."
Poor little hammie, let me get you a Claratin.
Isn't sneezing animals an unwritten Rule of Cute?
Now I lay me down to sleep.
a hunk of tofu in my cheek
if i gulp before a wake
i may have a tummy ache.
If i knew how to link to another page in the text i would but i am lame so here is my inspiration other than Theo starting it.

He's giggling at the gratuitious ass jokes going on in the bear gun thread.
>^_^< hehehehehe
"Isn't sneezing animals an unwritten Rule of Cute?"
Wouldn't that be more painful than cute?
Aw, Meg. :) I'm wearing my Hamster t-shirt right now, pondering whether I'm cute enough to send a photo.
For full-on hamster cute frenzy, check out Zippy's full photo gallery:

A new rule of cuteness! The Face-somehow-partially-obscured-by-paws-or-other-limbs rule!!!!
I move that this become a new rule. Do I have a second?
Aaaaaa....choooooo
Absolutely 2 cute 4 wordz!!!!!!!!!11
I Think She Is Saying Her Bed Time Prayers
Wait A Minute; Maybe She Just Got Punnished And Doesn't Wann Look At You.....At Any Rate; She Is Adorable
Laughing at the ass jokes? I think not. :-P more like hiding her little eyes in exasperation. ;-)
Me, I thought it was tres amusant.
Downward whiskers, this hamsters seems to be washing but still a picture-perfect pose :D
it's too cute. i need to kill it.
Since his doctor told him that he probably had a fur allergy (fur is the medical/noncute term for jammies) Colin got rid of his dog. Much to his dissapointment the sneezings didn't go away.
(a la Yosemite Sam) Say your prayers, varmint!
I guess you'd call that a "Paw-choo"?
Anne: Paw-choo
I love it!!! That's what I'll say my Kittes are doing now...You know, when they rub their paws over their noses after they sneeze? Paw-choo, love it!
I swore I would never do a hammie. Those pocket pets are so darn fragile and high maintenance. But the hammies on the site are so darn cute, I may not be able to resist. I know my kids would be pleased as punch!
Seems there are lots of different "kinds" of hammies. Which kind is recommended?
P.S. Tammy, why are you wearing a glove in the photos where you're holding Zippy? That kind of scares me.
It looks like he's praying!
I'm glad you liked the phrase. I know Meg called it the Ham-Choo, but calling it a Paw-Choo just amused me for some reason. (This is what I get for reading the Teddy Bear thread. Puns are like viruses, people.)
My parent's cat does this thing where she turns her head and presses her nose into one paw when she sneezes, as if she were afraid of getting germs on us. It's so dainty & ladylike, I feel like offering her a tissue sometimes.
Wendy,
Shhhh... I hate to spoil the illusion of cute, but her name is Zippy, and she is a psychotic dwarf hamster who would try to rip off your finger whenever you would try to pick her up or feed her through the cage bars. She was absolutely adorable, though... just had a thing for finger food! LOL.
Two comments:
1) I used to have a guinea pig named Zippy (I was told he was a girl as a baby, but he very soon proved to be otherwise, so his name was changed from Rosalind).
2) I just got my CO t-shirt today. Whoo-hoo! (Sorry for the complete lack of relevance to the picture - although there is a cute hammy involved...)
Dear Lord, Please don't let the cat move in next door. I promise to be good and stop putting my "poo" in with the chocolate sprinkles. I know it's not nice of me, but I get such a giggle from it! Please? Please?
Oh man. I just... I'm too tired this morning. I can't even react, this is so cute. Ahhhhh, hammies. By the way, I am all over the hammy photo book when it comes out.
why didn't i order a tshirt?
WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
when do yin yang kitties come out?
Ahh, the fluffiness! The little pawses! Shannon L, I'd second your motion for a new rule of cuteness (paws over the face).
i want dat hammie too! gimme! i geev heem tissues to wipey hees schnoot!
Btw, did I mention the fluffiness?
"moooooooom, i told you i could wash my own face!"
"nonsense here *spits on kleenex*"
"no mooooooom! aww gross! *wipes face*"
I am that hamster. I blame this on the trees. (#$&(* asthma-donating trees.
need...that...book! Yes, please let us know when it comes out! Renee :)
w00t -- my World Peace Hammie Ts arrived this morning! The schmoop-lets will be surprised...
