Whaaaa??? Nick is making fun of me!!!!1

I DONT FART IN PUBLIC !!!!!

NOT FUNNY NICK!!!!!

Goodbye Maza

Hello, this is Joshua blogging.

I am afraid I got some sad news. Nick told me that mommy is not ill anymore and that she has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

I got confused. This is where my father lives. So mommy will be together with Monty, my daddy! She will be happy because she was missing him so much. And there is a huuuuge hamster wheel there. So I asked them, why is it sad news? Nick hesitated a bit, and then said it's sad news because I will not see them for some time.

Which got me thinking... and I asked when will I see them when? This was hard for them to answer, so after a bit of thinking, they said that, according to statistics, I would meet them in 18 months. Or 2 years at best. Hmmm, strange.

Nick told me to write a few things about Maza, as a goodbye speech, so here it is.

Maza, my mother was a white haired syrian hamster that liked to eat a lot. She wasn't very active, and rarely used her hamster wheel, but loved playing in her hamsterball. She was quiet and liked making a huge nest from tissue paper. She also liked making a huge stockpile of food, seeds, corn, peanuts. But what she loved more (besides Monty) was her peanuts. She would crunch the peanut's shell for hours and that made her happy. Then she would store the peanuts and never eat them. She only bite them just for the taste. Nick rarely let her out of her cage unsupervised like they did with me (Joshua) and my father (Monty) because she would chew all the cables! She had twelve beautiful baby hamster with Monty, and one of those babies grew up to be ME! Maza was loved by everyone who met her.

Anyway, I am not that sad about mommy. I am going to miss not seeing her but she will be happy there. I am just going to miss her. On the other hand, I just inherited a furnished 2-floor house with a hamster-wheel too. 

Maza, the fat princess

Bye mommy! Me, Nick and all your human friends will miss you lots!

Your baby hamster, Joshua.

Mommy is sick :(

H3ll0, I am J0shu4!

This is teh first tim3 I use teh blog! But mommy is ill! Mommy takes antibiotics, and sleeps a lot!!!1

Nick took her to the vet. WHen mommy got back she was veeery tired. I don't like vets! I heard mommy bit teh vet! Hahaha!!!

I liek blogging! I will blog more often. I am now exploring Nick's desk. He has too many HDDs and CDs lying around...

Look ma! Top of the world HDD!

What's that? A receipt? Somebody forgot to do his taxes!

I used to like reading books. Douglas Adams is my favorite. He is full of win and very funny. I also like fantasy novels!! Dwarves are funny. SOmetimes I pretend I am a vicious direwolf like those in Game of Thrones. I am not that big, but I am equally furry! Trololol.

This is me checking my modest collection. Hmm, what to read next? Perhaps I will just play some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare just for the lolz!.

Anyway, got to go!

Mommy, get well soon.

Joshua.

Winter is coming

Nick is reading his favorite book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He also watches the TV-show (Game of Thrones) and I can't help but watch it too sometimes. It is very violent and I will never allow little hamster Joshua to watch it. In the show and in the books, there is a noble family that lives in the North where the winter is very harsh. They have to prepare for the harsh Winter all the time!

I have to prepare for the Winter too! I need to make a large stockpile of food, and also find warm bedding! Because as Ned Start says in every episode 'WINTER IS COMING'!

...but peanuts are coming too!

Winter may be coming...

Joshua was feeling adventurous that day

Joshua spent most of the afternoon climbing any surface that could climb and exploring the area under the sofa.

Later, when Nick cleaned his cage, they found a Mentos stashed in his hide-out. Somehow, that Mentos was under the sofa, hidden, who knows for how long. Joshua unearthed it and stored it.

As for me, I spent most of the afternoon sleeping with the occasional break of running around in my favorite blue hamsterball.

Joshua has been grounded!

Sometimes, at night, I make a lot of noise. I bite the rails of my cage and I try to open the hatchdoor so I can get out. Usually, all it takes is some treats and then I become quiet again.

Maza tries to jailbreak!

Young Joshua was a quiet hamster, but lately he is always making mischief. He is getting very noisy at nights!

He starts eating his peanuts at 01:00. Afterwards he runs in his wheel, making sure to run in such a way that creates the most noise possible. Then he goes up and down his tube, or start re-arranging his cage decoration or his food stockpile. But most often, he climbs on the rails and either bites them, or tries to break them with the force of his weight (which is futile, but funny).

But that is not all. I wish it was.

This morning Nick opened the top of Joshua's cage and started leaving food inside. Joshua was in the other corner of the floor and was observing him (his hand actually). Then he started approaching his hand is a shy way. Nick was very happy because Joshua is usually scared of him. So he continued leaving food in his cage. Then Joshua got even closer to his hand, and using his cowardly tactic, BIT him!

Needless to say, Nick is mad. I heard him say that he will not let him out of his cage ever again, because he is a spoiled hamster. Poor Joshua. I am sure he mistook his hand for a treat and just tried to have a bite! It is common, because us, hamster, have poor eyesight and generally are more dependent on smell. And Nick's hand definitely smelled like food!

Totonika, Monty and Joshua

Today I learned that Totonika Nova passed away.

Totonika is a friend of mine that I never actually met. But I visited her blog often and we talked through her guest book. She always brought a smile to my face, especially when my friend Monty passed away a month ago. The news made me sad, but I am confronted by the thought that Totonika and Monty, are going to be together in Rainbow Bridge. Perhaps Monty will show her the Rainbow Bridge Net Cafe and she will be able to mail her 'mum'.

Goodbye Totonika Nova, you will be remembered.

You can leave a message in Totonika's farewell page.

In other, more happy news, my son Joshua was very naughty tonight. He was biting his cage and making noises because he wanted to be let out. Nick couldn't sleep and moved his cage in another room. Of course that didn't help much. Joshua continued to make noise all through the night. I suspect the more he is left free to roam the house, the more he gets used to it. Also, he stopped biting, at least for now. But he is still getting scared easily and dislikes being petted.

Joshua

This is a picture of Joshua. He is free to run around the house and he is extremely happy. I also think this is the first picture of Joshua that I uploaded to the blog. He is camera shy.
