Alcoholic Hamster.
Never been lucky enough to own a Cat or Dog I've always had to make do with Hamsters and the like.
One particular Hamster (George) enjoyed going into hibernation every time the temperature in the house would drop blow a certain point.
The first time this happened I thought that the little fella was dead as no form of poking and prodding would raise him from slumber. Until it was pointed out that he was in a deep sleep as hamsters do when they go into hibernation.
So we decided to build a Hamster rehabilitation ward with the help of my brother who was a trainee chemist at the time. We made a hot water bottle and wrapped said rodent in a tea towel and placed it upon the bottle the rodent began to stir sleepily and then we fed George warm water and whisky through a small plastic syringe, George lapped it up!
With in a matter of minutes the little fella was bouncing around the joit with the alcoholic power of a hardened Glaswegian. Happy times.
