Jackie the Hamster

Jackie is a short haired, golden hamster. Her actual coloring is cream and white.

Tonight the box fan blocked Jackie from her usual destination: behind the downstairs toilet. It’s not like there is anything there to explore. You see one linoleum floor behind a porcelain toilet, you’ve seen them all. I think she must be searching for more cake icing.

Many months ago, Hubby brought a cake home from a Masonic function. He opened the front door, dropped the cake box on the foyer floor, then returned to his car for the rest of his stuff. I picked up the cake box and carried it to the kitchen. Later I put Jackie in her exercise ball while I cleaned her cage. I noticed she was enamored with the foyer for a change.

What was the bright blue on her exercise ball???

Icing! Some icing had come out the box when it hit the floor. Jackie was rolling back and forth across the spot, squishing icing up through the ventilation holes. I grabbed the ball and returned her to her cage. The ball went to the bathroom sink for a good soak.

For some reason, Jackie spent a LONG time on her exercise wheel later that night. Sugar high hamster style?

What I’m listening to: two hamsters chewing their way out of their Habitrail cages. Thank God for wire bars.
