Layla's New BFF

Dave quickly figured out how to keep Layla entertained...

No Bacon For You!

For Dave, who complains that I never have any bacon in my fridge...

Oopsie...

Last night I cleaned two hamster cages while watching DWTS. Since Trevor's cage was new to me, it took a lot longer to figure out how to get it apart (and then back together...). Somewhere in this cleaning process, an integral part of his cage went out with the waste. I noticed when I put him back in his cage and he tried to run on his wheel. Apparently there is a critical pin that holds the wheel in place, and without it, the wheel falls off and pins the hamster underneath. Rather than sift through two hammie's worth of dirty cage litter, I stopped by my local pet superstore on the way home and bought a new wheel.

I think this wheel is actually more "Trevor-sized" than the original. And it gives him a little more room to run and play in his hammie home!

It didn't take too long for Trevor to discover the new addition to his cage...

Everything is right in the world now that the hammie is happy running on his wheel!

It's Officially Spring!

Cute Socks

Back in January, my bestest friend in the whole wide world sent me a care package. One of the items in the package was a pair of St. Patrick's Day socks, which I've been waiting to wear ever since. Wearing cute socks always makes me happy, and I like St. Patrick's Day since you're supposed to wear my favorite color!

DWTS Rant

I have been a faithful watcher of Dancing With the Stars since the beginning (with the exception of Season 2--drat that trip to Europe!). Season 8 premiered last night, and I was extremely disappointed. The dancing wasn't nearly up to the standards of previous seasons, and the level of star quality has stooped to a low that hasn't been seen before--even in the first season! The cast includes a rapper recently released from jail, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, and a former Playboy bunny. I don't necessarily hold my television shows up to strict moral standards, but come on... giving a shout out to the girls in the Federal Detention Center???

This Is Trevor

Garfield has a roommate.
His name is Trevor.

I introduced Trevor to the hammie ball when I brought him home last night. I can't wait to see what he does with all of the fun bedding I left for him in his really cool cage!

He was so tired after running around in the hammie ball that he fell asleep with his fuzzy rear end hanging out of a toilet paper tube!
