Big Baby Mouster

Mood: lyricalNow Playing: Responsible AdultTopic: Chinese Mouse
HARVEY THE CHINESE HAMMY'S GROWING UP FAST. In hammy years he's already hit his teens. He has an adult coat all sand-coloured and the same bristly "mane" across the shoulderblades that tomcats and other male mammals get.
I've taught him a couple of tricks. He grabs my finger by the back legs and swings down like a bat. If nothing's worth dropping for he reverses back to sitting position without ever putting a foot wrong.
He climbs the flex of my mobile phone charger housemouse-style. I'm saving up to get him a proper mouse-cage with bars for climbing because I think that stuck in an old fishtank — and not being into wheels — he must be bored.
He will still relax in the folds of my clothing, or even sleep there. He gets a good hour of supervised exercise each night. It is very closely monitored, though. Since last week's jailbreak I'm on full alert for all his escapological antics.
I love my Mousey — but when he tries to escape he is a bloody swine.

I have a dog...one I picked up in the street...the girl had just found a flat and couldn't keep him...he was a baby, couldn't feed himself...he 's so cute and full of love...
We also had an old dog we adopted as well...when my son Thomas had crisis, terrible one, she lied down on him and would not move until he got better...
these animals are so important for us...
love to yours from Tao my dog
Mousie, who's proud of knowing you
