Sammy was a Roborovski dwarf hamster. I bought him with his
sister, Misao, on October 16th 2002. I only wanted one but there were
only two in the cage and I felt a bit guilty leaving one alone! Ironically, I
found out they were different sexes and had to separate them anyway...

My Sammy was annoyed that he couldn't wear this outfit...
Sammy was originally named "Sasami." A while after I named
the Red-Eyed One it struck me that I had a "witchy" theme going
on with Sabrina and Willow. I decided to carry it on, but not being able to
think of any more TV witches I could use I looked further afield, to the world
of Mahou Shoujo, the "magical girls." Specifically, I chose Sasami from
Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy. When I found out that Sasami was actually a
boy, I decided to shorten his name to "Sammy" in honour of Sasami's Magical Girl
alter-ego, Pretty Sammy.
Sadly, Sammy became ill and passed into the Great Beyond on
12th March 2004. I suspect it was old age, but he was zipping around
right to the end. His cute little fuzzy face is very much missed.
Sammy's Pictures
Sorry about the picture size - they were mainly taken with a digital
camera and didn't resize well, so it was a choice between big pictures or tiny
ones!
