Aw lol. But yes, you're on target with my hamster's name. When I

went to the pet store, I told them I was looking for either another

mouse or a dwarf hamster. He said " The mice are over here, and here

we have the dwarf hamster... oh and we have the robos over here " . I

said, " What's a robo?! " It's a Robovinski dwarf hamster. I couldn't

get Mr. Roboto out of my head after that, so he became Domo haha.

I just had to put my little Shadow down last Thursday. She was 15. I m

still grieving that loss.

But, BP or no, we love our pets. We get very protective of them.

You ARE nuts, but that has nothing to do with missing your dog!

If you select a good kennel, she will do just fine.
