Holy Hopping Hamsters!

Hamster agility course is a tiny test of skill

Oh sure, the Westminster Dog Show Masters Agility is exciting to watch, what with all the running and the jumping and the scooting through tunnels. But for people without enough space to train a dog, a hamster agility course is the next best thing, particularly when you have spirited runners like Dumptruck and Porkchop. As the commentator wisely notes, “Who doesn’t love a fluffy butt-cam?”

Certainly not sender-inner Murray C.!

    I can’t watch right now, but am I right to assume the cam is showing us the fluffy butt? If so, shouldn’t it be “fluffy-butt cam”?…fluffy butt-cam conjures up a whole different image…

    O. M. G. Too cute! I don’t know which I’m more impressed with: their agility or their big fluffy butts! ? ?

    Here I sit in front of a computer screen, clapping for Porkchop and Dumptruck. I’m grateful that this often miserable world also has hamsters, and the people who love them, in it.

      I assume Dumptruck is the one that went under or through the obstacles? 😀

        Dumptruck went UNDER the hurdles, which is exactly how I would have done it. Hilarious.

    Behind the scenes from another video (with the same hamster). It’s pretty amusing.

    Hee, hee, I love how the little guy escaped into the leg of the guy’s shorts!!!

    I must’ve sent this in a while back – Remember it but in a hazy sort of way. Mike, you must have quite a backlog of material.

    “This is an assisted event because…they’re hamsters.” Brilliant!
