Day One of hamster-sitting: Hamster is still alive! Nobody got peed on! Hamster's single escape attempt was foiled my my catlike reflexes.*

I am watching my friend's hamster while he is off at Otakon. I...have never had a pet larger than a fish in my life, so I don't know why he decided to trust me with Coraline. But she's adorable, and like I said ( Read more... )

Hamsters are SO fun! I enjoy watching mine get a new food (bits of carrot, for example) and pack as many bites as she can into her cheeks. She ends up looking like one of the Three Tenors. For a real treat, give her a kleenex or some toilet paper to play with. Massive amounts of shredding, stuffing, and nesting should ensue, unless you happen to put it where she wants it and she parks her little tush for a snooze right there. Mine likes to sleep on her back with all 4 feets in the air... inside the washed out relish jar that was supposed to be her litter box ( ... )

That's funny, I used to have a rat and I gave her a jar to use as a nest and she used it as a litter box :)

Precisely my response to the Inferi. I was like, ...Really? This was our best effort, gentlemen?

Otherwise, OMG WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN IT AGAIN ALREADY???

Best of luck with the hamster! They're precious creatures, if incredibly stealthy in their escape attempts.

Lol, actually I just meant that the Inferi were terrifying. ;) Crawling spiderlike out of the water and dragging Harry down and eeeeek.

I think I'll see it again sometime this weekend, probably at a nice cheap matinee...

If the hamster pisses on you, I don't want to hear it. I'm worried about my four-year-olds pissing on me.

Hasn't happened yet, though, right? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
