One of These Things...

is not like the other one. My hamster, Pancakes, playing possum in my parents' backyard.

Life is simply not complete without a hamster. Moose is rolling around the apartment right now in his ball, three cats trailing close behind. They have their own agendas, waking up late in the night to run in their wheels toward an unknown destination, only to fall asleep for 18 more hours, wake up and do it all over again. They eat, sleep, and exercise, and that's about it. Moose also has an impressive nest where he hoards all manner of things. And both he and Pancakes are extremely tame. Moose is even trained so that I can hand feed him treats. What a life, right?

Pancakes was extremely photogenic, almost posing for photos as in the picture above taken during one of his backyard adventures. Moose has never been outside, and he has all black fur, making it harder to get a good shot. One of these days.  :)
