..haha, thanks Nicole...I guess this is the more appropriate website for our new pet. He sure is much more interesting than the Ham. He's awake most of the day and in the wild he likes to create elaborate tunnels, so he's always digging away in his cage. He loves to be pet, but not picked up. We're still working on that. He managed to have an adventure the other night, by leaping from Steve's hands and hiding out (among the many, many wires) under the TV.
"Don't bite the wires, we might have fried squirrel in the house"
He also likes to perch himself at a high point in the cage so he's always climbing and leaping about. Degus also have a variety of squeaks and noises they make, he sounds like a whispering, chirping bird when he's happy and screeeeechs when you scare the hell out of him.
Pretty neat little guy.

Meh-he-ko and Loins
"I ambulance ambulance heart heart square circle!"
That's webdings for "I had a lot of fun in Mexico". We had a few discussions about webdings in Mexico...more like we spoke in webdings. We did a lot of drinking by the pool in the sun (if you're wondering why we were speaking in webdings) and not a lot of anything else. The wedding was really neat, by the ocean with a large hairy man swimming in the background. (Thankfully, he left shortly before the ceremony started) The resort was nice and HUGE! It took us 10 minutes to get from our room to the lobby. It was also quite crowded. I don't know if I want to travel during the winter holidays like that again. But we had lots of fun. Check out icebakes.com for all the photos.
In other sad news. R.I.P. Loins aka Ham.
Poor Samina was the one to find him, in his food dish. At least he died doing what he loved best...sitting in his food dish. He would take all the food out of the dish and disperse it among the corners of his cage. Then he'd sit in the dish. So, Samina comes over to check on the Ham, finds him stiff in his dish. She's not sure what to do so she phones Damo. He tells her to put the Ham in a bag and put him in our freezer. She's worried that we wouldn't want dead Ham germs on our food in the freezer so Damo tells her to bring Ham over to his house to put in his freezer, as he doesn't care about the dead Ham germs. So she does and they have a beer. Now, we have to find a day when the weather is above -20 so we can bury the Ham, next to the other Ham that we buried in Damo and Nicole's backyard.
I'm sad, but we are getting another pet soon. A degu.
