Go Team GB!

Here I am sitting on Mummy's shoulder while watching TV.  Team GB are doing rather well at sport at the moment, from Tennis, to the Ashes.  Well done all you hard working athletes.

I must redouble my efforts on the wheel tonight, Rio 2012 Gold won't win itself you know.

I'm up

As much as I love snoozing the summer away I also love the attentions of mummy and daddy.

Summer Siesta

It's so hot here in the UK that I sleep outside of my wooden hut to allow me to keep cool.  Here I am taking a little afternoon snooze.

How do you keep cool when the weather is warm?

Not so white anymore

As I've grown older my fur has developed a mottled ginger colouring.  Kind of cool like a tiger don't you think?

Peanut peanut (part 2)

 

So I managed to finally get to the peanut last night, thank you to all of you who emailed in to give me pointers.

Peanut peanut (part 1)

 

 

Hark I smell a peanut, or monkey nut, whatever you call it.  It smells so yummy I simply must have it!

 

 

Why can't I reach it?  answers on a post card please.

 

A hungry P bear :(

A midnight breakout

Last night I was feeling super strong and pushed the door open to my cage.  I was really excited and jumped down and explore all the nooks and crannies I could find.  About half an hour later, I was getting hungry and was starting to miss my comfy bed. 

Unfortunately had forgotten where my home was so in a panic I found a space behind the the kitchen cupboard and made a makeshift bedding with some kitchen towel.  Suffice to say it wasn't the best nights sleep and I couldn't wait to be rescued in the morning.
 
Have I learnt from my experience?  We shall have to see how long my memory lasts compared to my natural instincts to explore.

Hmmm what's that?

Daddy left the cage door open today, I wonder what is out in the world at large?  Wait did I just spy a very big pile of sunflower seeds...... (scurries off to investigate)

Spring time!

 

Spring is here.  A week ago it was snowy and cold but now the clocks have gone forward, the sun has arrived and daffodils are dotted around the undergrowth.  What a pretty sight.

Happy St Patrick's day!

Happy name day to me and other Patricks of the world.  Hope the luck of the Irish follows you but remember nibble responsibly.

Post nap stretch

Here I am stretching after a nice long nap.  Agh feels good, now food time.

Climbing frames

Mummy and Daddy know that I have lots of energy give me obsticles to climb through and explore. They even hide sunflower seeds as treats for me to search out.

Hello my name is Patrick

Hello all, I am a four month old syrian hamster called Patrick.  As you can see from my red eyes I am an Albino.

My fur is predominantly white and I have developed a couple of light brown patches to give me more character as i've aged.

I look forward to telling you about my adventures.

RIP Lucy :(

We are sad to say that a month ago we discovered a large growth in Lucy's right hand cheek pouch and is was so bad that she couldn't even align her front teeth together.  She was such a little angel and tried to hide the pain but we decided to have her put to sleep.

Goodbye Lucy you were the most gentle hamster we were lucky enough to love. X

Healthy ham

 

I just love Rocket, it tastes so bitter and yummy crunchy leaves that I can't resist.  As you can see my head is a blurr with munching motion.

What do you love nibbling on?

London 2012 Olympics

Wow what a month it has been, I have been following Team GB's successful Olympic campaign.  29 Gold in total and third in the overall standings very proud to be a British hamy at the moment.

I have been waving the patriotic flag as much as I can squeaking the atheletes on!  Wasn't super saturday so inspiring with Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah winning three golds in 45 minutes.  Andy Murray winning gold in the tennis too.

I'm all set for the paralympic which begin on Wednesday.

GO TEAM GB!

Searching for snacks

Mummy feeds me lots of food and treats but sometime I feel like going on an adventure to find some of my own.

Oops you caught me nibbling on something, best conceal the evidence.  N*****g to s*e h**e!

A comfy bed for the night/afternoon

If you look closely you can see that I have found a piece of sawdust to use as by bedding.  i amd very careful to select the softest wood to curl up in.

Wow after all that hard work I think that it's time for an afternoon snooze.

Night Lucy x

I gnaw what I've been up to

I like to keep my teeth nice and strong by nibbling and knawing at things. Look at what I've done to the tube. I do prefer gnawing the wood blocks that mummy provides, guess curiosity kept getting the better of me, after all I do have a short term memory.

I like to keep my teeth nice an............

Oh there I go again :)

Noogie

Thumb messages on the head feel so good, it even stops me from doing my most favourite activity, eating.
