Helloo Tron! I like that movie. So your username is pretty sweet, IMHO.
I am sorry to hear that your hamster has died, and I feel your pain with the dog; had a hamster once that my father scared to death, and then we have had to give away all three of the dogs we've owned thus far for reasons along the lines of new children, too rambunctious in general, or too expensive to take to the vet. But at least you kept your cats!
