I miss both Cartman and Kylie, but Cartman was one of the best cuddling hamsters I’ve ever met. I say this about all of my hamsters because I believe it, but she was special. We bonded as well as a giant scary human can bond with a tiny prey animal, and I miss her terribly.
She …
“Maybe this whole hamster cam thing is just a waste of time,” I think. Then Cartman gets caught by the camera looking almost unfathomably cute, and I have no choice. The cam stays.
I sleep a lot better when there are animals around. I don’t know why exactly, but I think it’s pretty simple: I like animals. They comfort me. They make me feel less lonely, but I know they won’t judge me if I thrash around or snore or talk in my sleep. I move around less …
