Our pet
March 07, 2005
The woman and I have advanced to the next level in relationships. We done and got ourselves a pet last Sunday. On a spur, we bought a baby Russian dwarf hamster. She’s currently residing in a green cage with a loft. The woman has named it “Ham” because it’s short of “hamster” and also it sounds like when we call each other “hun”. She’s a bit shy – I guess she’s getting used to the new surroundings.
Today I woke up and noticed most of the lettuce was eaten and the grape was half eaten too. I’m still a bit worried she doesn’t know how to use thost stupid water bottle things. Plus, she’s a damn picky eater – she’ll eat the sunflower seeds but not the mashed up corn kernel thingies. She thinks we’re still food because she’s still trying to nibble on my skin with increasing bite intensity. Bitch.

What’s next?!? A station wagon? Why not just strap on the old ball and chain now?

AWWWWWWWW. Ham is so adorable!
Is he/she biting your hand in your pic? Are you and Eri (waves hi to Eri) going to get obsessive and start buying maze tubes, and lots of toys for Ham?

While those maze tubes would be kinda fun for us humans, this cage isn’t tube compatible – it only has one tube used to get from one floor to the next. Too bad. I would’ve loved to put tubes all over the house like the kid from that movie where witches turn him into a mouse.

It’s too bad that you can’t have maze tubes all over your house. It’d be like Natalie Portman’s house in Garden State.

AGH! My entire comment, lost! When was the e-mail field required for posting comments? Boo!

Her running in the wheel at night is a bit noisy. I’m sure I’ll get used to it though.

The same thing happened to me too. It sucks.

Fine you pussies, you don’t have to enter your precious emails for commenting. Your addresses were never published anyway. It was just another way to screen spam. Hope all your hamsters bite through their cages and eat you whole.

A little warning about the e-mail field would have helped, we are all creatures of habit just like Ham.

I’m sure your losses were great and numerable. Send me a bill.
