Working on a side project

My daughter loves her hamsters.  She finds their antics hilarious (and really, so do I).  I spend a lot of time amusing her imitating them for her and making up stories about them.  So right now I'm working on a story in which the hamsters are the stars.

In a nod to a lot of recent media, the hamsters live a double life - they are secret agents, on a mission to a neighbor's house.  I'm trying to keep it simple and funny, but the message underneath it all is that heroes come in many sizes.  I should have a draft in a few days and I will probably post some or all of it here.
