I will get a photo put up of Snowy, at least before he blows us up!
We lost internet and telephone connections yesterday. We checked and checked and couldn't find the problem so eventually called BT, who kindly called back since I was on a mobile phone.
The engineer checked the line and said the problem was in the house and had we really checked everything?
Well, we thought we had.
He asked us to check the box on the wall, which is behind a small bookcase, where Snowy's cage sits on top...............
As my husband was moving the bookcase I noticed Snowy's cage wasn't fixed together properly.
'Where's Snowy?' I cried!
'Who's Snowy?' asked the engineer on the phone.
'My hamster'
'Your hamster? Is this like a mouse?'
'Yes, but he hasn't got a tail'
There behind the bookcase was all the telephone wiring all wrapped like spaghetti with Snowy asleep in the middle zzz
He woke up and sheepishly sat there with his paws held in 'pray'.
My husband picked him and I put him back in the cage, while apoligising to the engineer for wasting his time, but what could we do with all the chewed wires?
He told us to gather up the wires and take them to Mapplins which would still be open at that time of night and get replacements.
We did that and re-plugged the telephone and internet cable.
The phone rang! It works

It was the BT engineer to ask if we were happy with his service. I again said Thank you and sorry for wasting his time when all along Snowy had made a bed out of the wiring.
'How is Snowy, he isn't hurt is he?'
The engineer hadn't phone to see about the service but how the Hamster was!
