Jamie the pet hamster was being looked after by a friend of his owner .......

| Jamie The Hamsters Ladder To Freedom |
Now we all know that looking after friends pets is always a task fraught with danger ....
An acquaintance of mine, many years ago, was looking after someone's old dog when it died .... he left it in their garage with a note on its collar 'your dog died' ..... I kid you not - but he was in his late teens in a pre-mobile era, and couldn't think what else to do ....... Anyway, back to the hamster, Jamie escaped, and then disappeared down a 4 inch (10cm-wide) pipe that housed the water pipes.
Unfortunately it was too smooth for him to scrabble back up from. The friends dropped a piece of thin rope down the gap, but to no avail, and not unnaturally, they didn't want an expensive plumbing job, so all looked bad for Jamie when after five days he hadn't re-emerged.
In a
last attempt, the friends called the RSPCA (UK animal welfare charity).
The Officer from the RSPCA, said: "I cut a metre-long ladder from old wire mesh, fitted it in the pipe, and that evening he emerged. Very thirsty, but OK".
Do Hamsters have nine lives? ..... if yes, he's down a few.
