Travelling with me on this particular educational adventure is Eddie the guinea pig and Tommy the hamster. For a recap, here are their images.
Eddie's getting bigger every day, and sweeter by the minute. In the picture above, he is smaller still than a book he is now bigger than. I need more pictures of him. Sadly, he peed on my bed last night during a cuddle+carrot session. Tommy has stopped chewing so voraciously on her bars because there's no man-smell around, and because I've hung annoying toys with bells in all the corners, which is where she liked to chew. Outsmarting a hamster is not easily done.
Actually, when I think about it, something about animal intelligence is offputting to a lot of people. I think that's the root of a lot of people's strange animal phobias and disrespect. Because the kind of intelligent many animals are is not something we can comprehend.
Anyway, with that, I just got an idea of what would make me feel good - I really must go off to the pet store and look at treats for the aminals.
