Gender Classification

The baby hamsters are now over a month old and it's time to separate them so we won't have anymore little pups. The other day, my friend Andrea came by and we did the precursory look. It wasn't a pretty thing but it had to be done. We thought we did it right but then started to have doubts. So, I arranged for Anne and Andrea to come by. We decided to have dinner together since Tony and Matthew had guy night. Great food, two bottles of wine and then we proceeded upstairs to do it all over again. Let's just say that the hamsters were pretty traumatized by what we did. Not to mention the laughter that came out of the office. Tony and Matthew were afraid to come up to see what we were doing to the hamsters. I can honestly say that we have five girls and two boys and they've been segregated to the appropriate cages until they get picked up by their new owners.

Once the hamsters have been disbursed, we'll be on our way to Hong Kong. A week long vacation of spinning tea cups and great food. We'll need it.
