Nights in Rodentia
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 …
Happy berfday, bestest friend
Happy birthday to my best friend and furry little sister Maggie! She turned 9 on Saturday. My parents made her a cake. Since the cake contains chocolate and flour, she couldn’t eat a crumb of it, but they told her how delicious it was.

Sunflower seed bribery required
Here is my good friend Misha in many more pixels than I’ve previously been able to show him. Photographic hamsters is problematic because they’re only up and night and they move very, very fast. But sometimes they stand still for a second or two if you give them food.
Why, yes, he is a raging cutie. Thank …
The secret lives of hamsters
What is my hamster up to?
Confuse a small rodent!
Can a joke image make me feel bad? Of course.
