I'm now on my third night of interupted sleep after being kicked out of my own bed by my wife who is quite Ill with a bug. We have some relation staying and the only room left for me also houses my youngest sons demented hamster, Digger.
Being nocturnal Digger is now flat out on his wheel, that, clearly, was the cheapest one my wife could find in the shop. Some silicon gun oil applied to the spindle has cleared up the ear splitting screech but I am now left with a noise similar to a Mammod toy steam engine at full tilt, only about 50 times louder. I have attempted to jam Diggers wheel with a scew driver and it was amusing watching him try and work that out, until the light came on and my sickl wife demanded to know why I was standing in the dark in my boxers laughing at the rodent. Relocation of Digger has also failed for numerous reasons involving cats, dogs, the cold and the fact that he would be lonely on his own in the dinning room. If you are ever considering getting a dwarf Russian hamster don't. |

We have a pet Pygmy Hedgehog called Matilda Every evening I let her out in the living room and she spends all night ferreting around.. I leave a blanket or twon on the floor near the radiator and collect her to go back in her cage first thing in the morning. Very smart animals Hedgehogs - surprisingly agile too.. Climbs up and down the stairs if given the opportunity  Cat doesn't like her very much.  |

My deerhound X would like to play with your terrier.
He,s a right swine, he picks terriers up across the middle, and just holds them....doesnt hurt them, just holds them there, until you make him "drop" The looks on the terriers faces are a picture. You can see that they are thinking ...." any minute now, he,s gonna bite me in half"
He,s 32"....at the shoulder. This was taken when he was a pup.
